Discover the benefits of passkeys and the requirements for setting them up.
Passkeys are a modern, more secure alternative to traditional passwords for accessing your Adobe account. They offer enhanced security and convenience by using your device's built-in authentication methods, such as fingerprint, face recognition, or PIN. With passkeys, you no longer need to remember complex passwords, and your account becomes significantly more resistant to common security threats, such as phishing and theft.
Benefits of using a passkey
Passkeys make the sign-in experience simple and quick:
- Passkeys are saved on your device and can’t be shared or stolen.
- Passkeys are easier and more secure than passwords and can easily be removed if needed.
- Using passkeys saves you from the hassle of remembering your passwords.
Requirements to set up a passkey
To set up a passkey:
- Your computer should run Windows 10, macOS Ventura, ChromeOS 109 or later.
- Your mobile device should be running iOS 16 or Android 9 or later.
- Your USB security key supports the FIDO 2 protocol.
- You have turned on screen lock, Bluetooth (for setting up a passkey using a phone), and iCloud Keychain (on macOS).
- You're not using Incognito or Private Browsing mode.
Tip
For the best passkey experience, ensure your operating system and browser are up to date.
