# Passkeys for Login

Log in to your Verkada Command organizations with passkeys for the most secure and seamless login experience. Learn more about the [industry's move towards passkeys](https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/).

## Set up your passkey

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Navigate to your account's security settings: At the bottom left, click Profile and find My Account.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Under Passkeys, click Add a Passkey.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**For security purposes, you may be prompted to re-enter your password or verify through an email link.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**When prompted to Set up Passkey, follow the prompts to set up any passkey supported by your device and/or external security key.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
For an external security key to be configured as a passkey, it must be FIDO2-compliant.
{% endhint %}

## Log in with your passkey

Once your passkey is configured, you can use it to log in to your Command organization.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have passkeys registered for multiple Command organizations, first select the passkey to log in with. Each passkey is stored with the email address and organization name it correlates to.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**From the main login page, under Log in with passkey, click Login.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**You should see a browser or OS prompt to use your passkey.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Use the selected passkey to log in. Alternatively, enter your email and select your organization as usual, then use your passkey in place of your password.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

## Delete your passkey

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Navigate to your account's security settings: At the bottom left, click Profile and find My Account.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Under Passkeys, go to the specific passkey to remove.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Next to the passkey, click Delete.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**For security purposes, you may be prompted to re-enter your password or verify through an email link.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Important notes

When you set up your passkey, it does not disable or affect any other login methods. Passkeys simply present another login option.

However, when you use a passkey to log in, it bypasses 2FA (if enabled), because passkeys already provide built-in multi-factor authentication.
