Prerequisites
- A device or browser that supports WebAuthn (every current major browser does)
- A signed-in ShingleAI account — passkeys are added to your existing account, not used to create one
Add a passkey
- Navigate to Settings > User > Security
- In the Passkeys card, click Add passkey
- Your browser prompts you to choose a device — phone biometric, platform authenticator (Touch ID / Windows Hello), or a security key
- Complete the device prompt
Passkey #1, Passkey #2, etc.) and the date it was added. Add as many passkeys as you have devices — each one is registered to that specific device.
You can register passkeys even if your account uses email-and-password sign-in. Passkeys are an additional sign-in method, not a replacement.
Rename or delete a passkey
In the Passkeys card:- Click the pencil icon to rename a passkey (max 64 characters) — useful for distinguishing “Work laptop” from “Personal phone”
- Click the trash icon to delete a passkey, then confirm
Sign in with a passkey
On the sign-in page:- Conditional UI (autofill). If your browser supports it, your saved passkey appears as a sign-in option directly in the email field’s autofill menu — pick it, complete the device prompt, and you’re in
- Manual button. Click Sign in with a passkey to invoke the device picker without typing your email
Limitations
- Last-used timestamp not yet tracked. The passkey list shows the date a passkey was added but not when it was last used to sign in
- Per-device. Passkeys are bound to the device that created them and don’t sync across browsers unless you use a synced passkey provider (iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, etc.)
