Signing in just got a whole lot smarter - and safer

TrakIT now supports Passkeys - no more passwords.

You can now sign in to TrakIT using passkeys, a faster and more secure way to log in. No passwords to remember, reset, or worry about.



What’s a passkey (in simple terms)

A passkey lets you sign in using your device - like Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or your phone’s PIN - instead of a password. Your device keeps a secret key safely inside it.

TrakIT only stores a matching public key. When you sign in, your device proves it’s really you without sending any sensitive data. Your fingerprint or face never leaves your device. TrakIT never sees it.

Passkeys work on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and all major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge).


How to register your passkey (a one-time task)

Once you have signed in with your regular credentials, click the fingerprint icon on the top-right of the main menu. If you don't see this icon, passkey authentication may not be enabled for your company.


The Passkeys page will open. Under 'Register a New Passkey', simply click the "Register Passkey" button (an optional name can be added if you wish). If successful, the registered passkey will appear in the list.


The next time you sign in, you can click the "Sign in with Passkey" button.

Passkey Benefits

  • Stops phishing - A passkey only works on the real TrakIT site. Nowhere else.
  • Super fast sign‑in - One tap or glance and you’re in.
  • Nothing to steal - No password stored on the server means nothing for attackers to grab.
  • No extra gadgets - Your phone or laptop is the authenticator.
A few things to know
  • Add passkeys on more than one device - If you lose the only device with your passkey, you’ll need a backup login.
  • Other login methods still work - Passkeys are not replacing your regular login methods.
  • Passkeys don’t sync across ecosystems - Apple passkeys stay on Apple devices, Windows passkeys stay on Windows, unless you use a cross‑platform password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden.
  • This is optional - Passwords aren’t going away yet. You can add or remove passkeys anytime from your Passkeys page.

As always, for any questions or concerns, please contact TrakIT Support.
