What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are like magic keys that allow you to log in to an online store or other websites to access your personal information or make a purchase.

Example: Shopping at an online store

Imagine you want to buy something from an online store. When you need to log in to the website to place your order, you usually need a username and password. Passkeys work similarly, but instead of using a password, you would enter a unique code to log in.

If you enable passkeys, you won't have to remember your password every time you want to log in to the site. Instead, you can enter the passkey to log in quickly and securely. Some websites also offer the option to use passkeys to speed up the checkout process. For example, if you have your credit card details stored in your profile, you can enter the passkey to complete the purchase faster.

However, it is important to note that you should keep Passkeys safe so that no one else can access your personal information. You should also make sure that you use a unique and secure passkey that is hard to guess.

Another example, regarding a Google account.

Imagine you want to log into your Google account without having to type in your password every time. You first need to enable the passkey feature in your Google account. The next time you want to log in to your account, a notification will be sent to your smartphone. You will then need to tap on the notification and confirm your identity, for example, by scanning your fingerprint or entering a code. Once your identity is confirmed, you will automatically be signed in to your Google account.

What does this mean for me as a merchant?

Your customers can simply use Passkey on their cell phone to store in your store. They don't need to install, buy or register anything else. 
You as a merchant, however, have to register with a Passkey provider. This is the server that your store connects to in order to check the customers' passkeys. 

For this we have chosen the provider HANKO.IO. You have to register with this provider.  Then install our plugin, enter the API key of hanko and you're ready to go!
