Passwordless Login Is Here: Fyatu Adds Passkey Support

Passwordless Login Is Here: Fyatu Adds Passkey Support

The End of Passwords

Passwords are the weakest link in digital security. They get reused, phished, leaked, and forgotten. Today, we are replacing them with something better.

Fyatu now supports passkeys — a modern authentication standard backed by the FIDO Alliance, Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Passkeys let you sign in with your fingerprint, face scan, or device PIN. No password to remember. No code to type. No risk of phishing. Learn more about how we protect your account on our Security page.

How Passkeys Work

A passkey is a cryptographic key pair stored securely on your device. When you sign in:

  1. Fyatu asks your device to verify your identity
  2. You authenticate with Face ID, fingerprint, or your device PIN
  3. Your device signs the request with your private key — it never leaves your device
  4. Fyatu verifies the signature and logs you in instantly

The entire process takes less than two seconds. There is nothing to type, nothing to intercept, and nothing to steal.

Passkeys vs. Passwords: A Clear Winner

Passkeys are bound to the specific website or app, so they cannot be tricked by fake login pages. They are the gold standard in authentication security.

Setting Up Your Passkey on Fyatu

  1. Open the Fyatu app and go to Security Settings
  2. Tap “Set up Passkey”
  3. Authenticate with your device biometrics
  4. Done — your passkey is created and synced across your devices

On iOS, your passkey syncs through iCloud Keychain. On Android, it syncs through Google Password Manager. You can use the same passkey on your phone, tablet, and laptop.

What About Existing Login Methods?

Your current password and two-factor authentication still work. Passkeys are an additional option — you can choose which method to use each time you sign in. We recommend switching to passkeys for the fastest and most secure experience.

Built on Open Standards

Fyatu’s passkey implementation follows the WebAuthn standard and is compatible with all major browsers and operating systems. Whether you use Chrome, Safari, Firefox, iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS — passkeys work seamlessly.

Your financial accounts deserve the strongest protection available. With passkeys, that protection is now one tap away. For developers integrating Fyatu into their platforms, passkey support is available across all API V3 endpoints.
