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.
