Use WebAuthn (Passkey) to log in to Admin UI

Important

This feature is only applicable if your host is using HTTPS.

About this task

The procedures guide you in using a passkey to log in to Admin UI. The procedures involve:

  • signing up with passkey
  • logging in to Admin UI using a passkey
  • clearing the passkey

Passkeys are better options to passwords as they use public key cryptography to create secure experiences. Passkeys allow sign-in to websites without remembering and managing passwords by using a biometric sensor, PIN, or pattern. For more information, see passkey.org.

Prerequisites

For Mac using Keychain

  • You have set up iCloud Keychain to create a passkey.

  • You have an Apple ID to set up iCloud Keychain.

  • Your Mac has a Touch ID sensor, you have a connected iPhone or iPad, or you have an external security key.

Note

Chrome supports passkeys on iCloud Keychain starting in Chrome 118, on macOS 13.5 or later. For more information, see Chrome for Developers blog post.

For Windows

  • You have set up Windows Hello as Chrome on Windows stores passkeys in Windows Hello.
  • Your Windows machine supports the Windows Hello options.

Other Passkey Managers

Some third-party password managers, such as 1Password support Passkeys as well. Refer to their documentation for details on configuration and requirements.
