We are excited to announce support for Passkeys, a faster and more secure way to access your Pressable account. By using device-bound credentials like Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello, you can now sign in without ever typing a password or waiting for a one-time code.
This update is perfect for users looking to eliminate “password fatigue” while significantly increasing their account protection against phishing and unauthorized access.
Why Passkeys?
Securing your account requires a combination of a strong password and a secondary 2FA step (Authenticator App or Email). Unfortunately, this often leads to login friction and “OTP delivery” delays. While these security measures are still required, you now have Passkeys as an optional layer that keeps you secure while allowing for quicker access to MyPressable.
This means:
- Faster Access: Log in in seconds using your fingerprint or facial recognition.
- Enhanced Security: Passkeys are unique to Pressable and cannot be guessed, reused, or phished.
- No More OTPs: When you log in with a passkey, you skip the manual 2FA challenge entirely.
What’s New
1. Seamless 2FA Bypass
If you have an authentication app, SMS, or email 2FA enabled, you can now use a passkey to bypass these manual steps. On the 2FA challenge screen, simply select “Log in with passkey” to verify your identity instantly using your device.
2. Centralized Passkey Management
You have full control over your credentials. Within your Pressable Dashboard, navigate to Security > Passkeys in the left-hand navigation to:
- Register a new passkey (e.g., your MacBook’s Touch ID or a YubiKey).
- View all active passkeys associated with your account.
- Rename or remove passkeys as your devices change.
3. Proactive Setup
Starting today, you may see a prompt after logging in inviting you to add a passkey. This one-time setup ensures your future logins are as smooth as possible.
⚠️ Compatibility Note: Supported Browsers
Passkey technology relies on modern browser capabilities. To use this feature, please ensure you are using one of the following versions or newer:
- Chrome 129+ (September 2024)
- Firefox 119+ (October 2023)
- Safari 18.4+ (March 2025)
Using an older browser? No problem. You will continue to log in using your standard email and password followed by your existing 2FA method.
