Passkey Setup & Support

Credential Security

Controller leverages Passkeys to securely provision credentials for signing blockchain transactions. Passkeys can be generated by:

• Platform authenticators (Face ID, Touch ID)
• Password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password)

Platform Support

Passkeys are generally well supported across modern platforms. You can use them with:

• Device authenticators directly
• Mobile device pairing via QR code flow

If you device does not natively support them, there are several password managers that support Passkey creation and management:

• Bitwarden (free)
• 1Password
• Dashlane

When using a password manager, be sure to install the browser extension as well.

Backup Solutions

Passkey backup is handled differently depending on your platform or password manager:

Multi-Signer Support

Passkeys can be used as part of Controller's multi-signer functionality, allowing you to add multiple authentication methods to your account. This provides backup access and additional security options.
