GRVT SecureKey secured by Dfns uses passkeys to sign transactions. This document has several FAQs about passkeys and how to use them with.
Q: What are passkeys?
A: Passkeys are secure, password-free authentication methods (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprints, security keys). They’re stored in a protected vault on devices like phones or computers.
Q: Why use passkeys?
A: They simplify and secure logins by removing the need to remember passwords, and they protect against various threats.
Q: How does GRVT SecureKey use passkeys?
A: GRVT SecureKey leverages passkeys to sign transactions.
Q: How do I check if my device is compatible with WebAuthn/Passkeys?
A: Test compatibility by visiting webauthn.io on your device. If you signed up on a compatible device but want to use one that isn’t, set up a secondary SecureKey (e.g., via Metamask) on the original device and switch to that address.
Q: Are passkeys tied to one device?
A: Not necessarily. Passkeys can be backed up and synced across devices using services like iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager, as long as those devices support WebAuthn.
Q: Can I add multiple passkeys to access my GRVT SecureKey?
A: Yes, you can add multiple passkeys as long as the first passkey consents to adding the second. Manage these credentials under your SecureKey page.
Q: Can I use the same passkey from several devices to sign transactions?
A: Yes. Use the “Use a phone, tablet or security key” option when prompted. This lets you scan a QR code or use a security key that may be used on other devices.
