At Knaken, we are constantly striving to improve the security and user experience of our platform. Today, we are excited to announce the introduction of Passkeys in our portal, with plans to extend this feature to our app soon.

But what exactly is Passkeys, and why should you care? Let’s dive into the details.

What is Passkeys?

Passkeys is a modern, secure way to log in to your Knaken account without needing a traditional password. Instead, it uses biometric data (like your fingerprint or face) or a device PIN. This means that you can access your account quickly and easily, without having to remember complex passwords.

Advantages of Using Passkeys

1. Enhanced Security

Traditional passwords can be vulnerable to attacks, especially if they are weak or reused across multiple sites. Passkeys, on the other hand, provides a much higher level of security. Your biometric data or device PIN is unique to you, making it extremely difficult for anyone else to access your account.

2. Convenience

Logging in with Passkeys is fast and straightforward. No more typing out long passwords or trying to remember which special characters you used. Simply use your fingerprint, face recognition, or device PIN, and you’re in!

3. Reduced Risk of Phishing

Phishing attacks often trick users into revealing their passwords on fake websites. With Passkeys, there’s no password to steal. This significantly reduces the risk of falling victim to phishing scams.

4. Still Have the Option for Traditional Login

We understand that some users might prefer the traditional method of logging in with a password and two-factor authentication (2FA). Don’t worry; this option remains available even after you activate Passkeys. You can choose the login method that best suits your needs and comfort level.

How to Activate Passkeys

Activating Passkeys on the Knaken portal is simple:

1. Log in to your Knaken account.
2. Go to Account in customer portal and click on Passkeys.
3. Click on Create Passkeys and follow the on-screen instructions to set it up and store your passkeys in your browser, keychain or your password tool like: 1Password.

Once Passkeys is activated, you can start using it immediately for a quicker and more secure login experience.

Looking Ahead

We’re working hard to bring Passkeys to our app, so you can enjoy the same benefits on the go. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development!

At Knaken, your security is our priority. We’re committed to staying ahead of the curve and providing you with the best tools to protect your account. Passkeys is just one of the many ways we’re enhancing your experience and security on our platform.
