We've added passkeys for two-factor authentication

You can now use passkeys for two-factor authentication (2FA) at Clerky. They're the easiest way to do 2FA and the modern best practice for account security.
What's a passkey?
A passkey uses your device to confirm it's you, usually with a single click or biometric scan. Since the device handles this directly, there's no need to open separate apps or enter codes.
Why passkeys are better
- Less friction. Authentication can happen in one click or biometric scan.
- Stronger security. Passkeys can't be guessed, reused, or stolen in a database breach.
- Works across devices. Apple, Google, and Microsoft can sync passkeys through their built-in managers (e.g., iCloud Keychain).
How passkeys work on Clerky
- You can add a passkey today as a 2FA method.
- You can add multiple passkeys (laptop, phone, hardware key) and name them (e.g., "1Password on Mac").
- If you sign in with Google, we'll skip 2FA since it's already a best practice for Google accounts.
- Your account shows security details like when a passkey was created and when it was last used for 2FA.
Get started
You can start using passkeys today by going to Settings → Security in your Clerky account. We'll guide you through the process step by step.
