# Setting up passkeys

> Add a passkey so you can sign in to Hiresweep with your fingerprint, face or screen lock instead of a password.

A passkey lets you sign in with your device's fingerprint, face or screen lock, or with a password manager that stores passkeys. You don't need a password on your account to use one, and you can add several, for example one for your laptop and one for your phone.

## Add a passkey

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sign-in & security">
    Select **Settings** in the dashboard sidebar, then **Sign-in & security** under **Account**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Select Add passkey">
    In the **Passkeys** row, select **Add passkey**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Confirm on your device">
    Your browser or password manager asks you to create a passkey. Confirm with your fingerprint, face, screen lock or PIN.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Name it">
    Hiresweep asks you to **Enter a name for your passkey.** Use something you will recognize, such as "MacBook Touch ID" or "Work phone", and select **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The passkey now appears in the list. Choose the name carefully: you can't rename a passkey after you save it. To change a name, delete the passkey and add it again.

## Sign in with a passkey

On the sign-in page, select **Passkey** under **or continue with** and confirm on your device. Many browsers also offer your passkey when you select the **Email or username** field.

Signing in with a passkey doesn't ask for a [two-factor code](https://docs.hiresweep.com/guides/setting-up-two-factor-authentication).

## Delete a passkey

Select **Delete** next to the passkey, then **Delete passkey** in **Delete this passkey?**. You can no longer sign in with it, and this can't be undone.

Deleting a passkey in Hiresweep doesn't remove it from your device or password manager. Remove it there as well to keep the list tidy.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Couldn't add the passkey">
    You may have cancelled the device prompt, or your browser doesn't support passkeys. Select **Add passkey** again,
    or try an up-to-date version of Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="The passkey was added, but its name didn't save">
    The passkey works. It shows as **Unnamed passkey**. If you want a name, delete it and add it again.
  </Accordion>
  <Accordion title="My passkey isn't offered on another device">
    A passkey lives on the device or password manager that created it. Add a passkey on each device, or use a password
    manager that syncs passkeys between them.
