The availability of passkey support can vary based on the operating system and web browser being used.
MacOS: Passkey support is provided by browsers such as Safari and Firefox.
Windows: Most web browsers offer passkey support.
On mobile: It’s recommended to use the mobile web version of the service, as almost every application directs users to the web version within a mobile browser for the setup process.
Before you start, make sure you have a contactless reader that is compatible with ISO 14443 for contactless or ISO 7816 for contact reader.
Log in to your Microsoft account first and go to “Security info”.
In the Security info, select “Add sign-in method”.
The system will prompt to select a method. Choose “Security Key” and select “Add”. In the next pop up, select “NFC device”.
Select “Security key” from the Passkey options.
The system will prompt the message to set up the Security Key. While the prompt is opening, place the card on the contactless reader.
Before the card is properly registered, the system will ask for the PIN. After, select “OK” and in the next pop up, select “OK” again.
Ensure you remember your PIN. It is advisable to save it securely or write it down in a safe place. You will need this PIN the next time you log in to a site where you have set up passkey authentication.
Security key setup successfully.
Now a Cryptnox Card can be used for Passwordless login into your online account. The process is similar to other websites. If you are using a work or school account, you can also use it to log into your desktop. For this, restart your computer and in the login screen, select the “Security key” icon.
Place the card on the reader and enter the passkey you set for the card to log in.
