At Infinex, passkeys power everything. They replace seed phrases and make logging in fast, secure, and familiar. This means you don’t need to copy-paste private keys.
What are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a safer, easier alternative to seed phrases. Instead of having to write down and manage a seed phrase, your Infinex account is protected by cryptographic keys that are securely tied to your device.
Your private key stays locked on your device and is never shared, Infinex or anyone else can’t access it.
The public key is stored by Infinex to verify your login and keep your account safe.
How does Infinex use passkeys?
Infinex partners with Turnkey to generate passkeys in a fully non-custodial way.
This means:
Neither Infinex nor Turnkey can access your private key.
No one can act on your behalf or move funds without your explicit approval.
This setup:
Protects against phishing attacks
Eliminates the need for seed phrases
Works seamlessly across multiple blockchains
As you use Infinex, smart contract wallets are automatically deployed on each network you interact with, giving you secure multichain access with a single login.
Types of Passkeys
Passkeys adapt to the device you’re using. You can choose the method that feels most convenient and secure:
Mobile Devices
iPhone / iPad (iOS & iPadOS) – Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
Android – Use fingerprint unlock, screen lock PIN, or your device’s native passkey system.
Desktop Devices
Mac (macOS) – Use Touch ID, Apple Watch unlock, or your macOS password.
Windows – Use Windows Hello, which supports facial recognition, fingerprint readers, or a secure PIN.
Linux (with supported browsers) – Use a connected security key or password manager that supports passkeys.
Password Managers (Cross-Device Sync)
Passkeys can be stored and synced across devices using modern password managers:
Google Password Manager / Chrome – Stores passkeys securely in your Google Account and syncs across devices signed in with the same account.
1Password – A dedicated password manager that encrypts and syncs passkeys across iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.
Apple iCloud Keychain – Built into Apple devices for seamless passkey syncing between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Security Keys
Use a physical key like YubiKey for extra protection.
Great for shared or less secure computers, or for users who prefer a dedicated piece of hardware.
