A passkey will soon be used to login to ARMLS products, which will replace traditional passwords. Passkeys are a modern way to login to your accounts, that use biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, PIN, or etc.) to sign into apps and websites. Passkeys are saved to your direct devices, making logins faster, easier, and much more secure by being resistant to phishing and data breaches.
Passkeys allow you to skip entering your password each time you log in and use your device’s built-in security (like fingerprint, face ID or PIN) to verify you.
Passkeys work across modern devices and do not require a camera or fingerprint reader—many computers support passkeys using a standard device PIN. Once signed in, the new ARMLS Dashboard gives you faster access to your tools and services with a one-click launch.
Your biometric information is never shared with or stored by ARMLS. Verification happens only on your device using the same security features you already use to unlock your phone, tablet, or computer.
Advantages of using a passkey:
- Simpler Logins: No more typing or remembering complex passwords; use your face, fingerprint, or PIN instead.
- Faster Access: Sign-in is significantly quicker, often up to 75% faster than typing passwords.
- Phishing-Proof: You can’t be tricked into giving up a passkey, as it only works for the specific site it was created for, making them immune to phishing.
- No Stolen Passwords: Passkeys use public-key cryptography; the private key stays on your device, making it useless to hackers even if the server is breached.
- Unique Credentials: Each passkey is unique, preventing credential stuffing attacks where stolen passwords are tried on other sites.
- Higher Success Rates: More people successfully log in compared to traditional passwords.
