About Passkey

Passkeys are a convenient and secure way to sign in to your Amazon account without using a password.

With passkeys, you can sign in to your Amazon account by simply using your , fingerprint, or the PIN that you use to unlock your device. You will not need to provide your Amazon password to sign in.

Passkeys are secure and convenient sign in options as they:

Work on most major platforms and browsers. For example, iPhones, Android phones, Apple and Windows desktops.
Are end-to-end encrypted. Your passkeys and biometric information are never shared with Amazon, making your account safe from phishing attacks or data breaches.
Allow you to still use your Amazon password to sign in, if you prefer.

How to Enable Passkeys

To enable passkeys:

In Your Account, select Login & security.
Select Set up beside Passkeys.
Select Set up.
Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the set up.

Once a passkey is enabled, it is saved to your passkey provider account, like your Apple ID or Google account. You will be able to sign in with the passkey on all your devices associated with that account.

Note: You can only create one passkey per passkey provider account. Some browsers may have limited passkey functionality.

If you need help with setting up a passkey on another device or for another passkey provider account, visit Use Passkey on Multiple Devices.

Important: To create and use passkeys, your device will need to meet one of these minimum software requirements (if applicable).

You will also need to use the latest browser version.

When signing in to another Amazon marketplace from your browser (for example, Amazon.com, Amazon.in), you will need to set up a new passkey or sign in normally using your Amazon password.
