This guide helps Members understand:

* What passkey authentication is
* When passkey authentication is required
* How to complete passkey verification successfully

***

### Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Before using passkey authentication:

* You have successfully entered your email and password
* Passkey authentication is enabled by your organization
* You are using a supported device and browser

#### 1. When Passkey Authentication Is Triggered <a href="#id-1.-when-passkey-authentication-is-triggered" id="id-1.-when-passkey-authentication-is-triggered"></a>

Passkey authentication may be required when:

* The organization enforces passkey-based authentication
* Passkey is configured as the default MFA method
* Risk-based access control requires stronger verification
* You are signing in from a new or untrusted environment

***

#### 2. Passkey Authentication Flow <a href="#id-2.-passkey-authentication-flow" id="id-2.-passkey-authentication-flow"></a>

**Step 1: Passkey Prompt Is Displayed**

After successful passkey verification:

* Sign-in is completed
* You are redirected to your dashboard or workspace
* Your session is established securely

***

### Failure and Retry <a href="#failure-and-retry" id="failure-and-retry"></a>

If passkey authentication fails:

* You may retry using the same device
* You may be prompted to use an alternative verification method (if allowed)
* Repeated failures may temporarily block authentication

***

### Security Benefits <a href="#security-benefits" id="security-benefits"></a>

Passkey authentication provides:

* Phishing-resistant authentication
* No shared secrets (no passwords or OTPs)
* Strong device-bound security
* Protection against credential stuffing and replay attacks

***

### Important Notes <a href="#important-notes" id="important-notes"></a>

* Passkeys are device- and browser-specific
* Passkey availability depends on your device and browser
* Losing access to your device may require administrator assistance
* Passkeys do not replace organization security policies
