Getting Started

You don’t need to perform any special setup to use Passkeys with Password Boss Web. The feature is available by default.

How to Add a Passkey

Go to Access Settings:

• Open the website settings in Password Boss Web or the browser extension.

Add Passkey:

• Click “Add Passkey” (or similar).
• You’ll be prompted to name the new passkey and select a folder for storage.
• Confirm the creation.
• The passkey will appear in the same section once added.
• You’ll see a confirmation message indicating successful addition.

After Adding:

• The passkey should appear in the same section.
• A message will likely appear stating that the passkey has been successfully added.

Device Limitations:

Using Passkeys:

• On your next visit, if a passkey has already been added for your user, the website will offer to use the previously added passkey. The extension will display a list of passkey items for the current website.
