Passkeys Guide
Passwordless SSO with Passkeys
1. Sign in to your Hideez server using your email and password
Note: If you see the message “Your web application is running and waiting for your content,” the server is not ready yet. The process may take from 5 to 10 minutes. Once the server is ready, you will receive an email confirmation.
2. Create Passkeys:
Passkeys are a new way of signing in to your online accounts with a biometric sensor or PIN, eliminating the need for passwords.
To create a passkey, go to the Profile page, then the FIDO2 Authenticators section, and click Add FIDO2 Authenticator.
Following the on-screen steps, add a FIDO2 Authenticator, choosing between a Cross-Platform key (another device, like a phone or tablet) or a Platform key (current device).
Adding a Cross-Platform key:
Adding a Platform key
Note: Multiple devices can be added simultaneously.
A biometric sensor or Trusted Platform Module (TPM) module must be present.
3. Configure Passwordless SSO:
Hideez Server allows you to enable passwordless Single Sign-On (SSO) based on the SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols. These protocols are employed to verify a user’s identity when an employee tries to access web or mobile applications.
To configure the Hideez Server as an Identity Provider for passwordless SSO, go to Settings → Parameters, and proceed with SAML or OIDC configuration as described in our user guide.
4. Add a New user:
New users can be added through:
Upon receiving an email, users can configure their preferred login methods, such as a mobile application or passkeys.
Additionally, the Hideez Server assumes that passwordless authentication can be employed alongside other methods
Mobile Application allows Passwordless SSO and PC login with Mobile App
Hardware keys allow Passwordless SSO, PC logon & logoff, password-based authentication
