Glossary/Passkey

Passkey

A phishing-resistant credential based on WebAuthn that replaces passwords — and increasingly seed phrases — with biometrics or device-bound keys.

Passkeys sign challenges inside your device’s secure enclave, unlocked by fingerprint or face. Because there is no shared secret to steal or reuse, they resist phishing — and some wallets now use them instead of seed phrases.
