How to Shop on Amazon Without a Password: Introducing Passkeys

Do you hate having to remember passwords for every website and app you use? Do you worry about hackers stealing your passwords and breaking into your accounts?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be interested in a new way to sign in to your Amazon account without a password: passkeys.

Passkeys are a new feature that Amazon is rolling out on its website and mobile apps, starting with iOS. Passkeys allow you to sign in to your Amazon account using the same face, fingerprint, or PIN that you use to unlock your device. This means that you don’t need to type in a password or a one-time code every time you want to shop on Amazon. You just need to scan your face, touch your finger, or enter your PIN, and you’re good to go.

Passkeys are not only easier and faster than passwords, but also more secure. Unlike passwords, passkeys cannot be guessed, stolen, or shared with anyone else. They are unique to your device and your biometrics, so only you can use them. Passkeys also protect you from phishing attacks, which are when hackers try to trick you into giving them your password or one-time code by sending you fake emails or texts. With passkeys, you don’t have to worry about falling for these scams, because you don’t need a password or a one-time code at all.

If you want to try out passkeys for yourself, here’s how you can set one up for your Amazon account:

• Log in to your Amazon account on your browser or iOS app.
• Select Your Account.
• Choose Login & Security.
• Select Set up next to Passkeys.
• Follow the step-by-step instructions.

Once you have set up a passkey for your account, you can use it to sign in to your Amazon account on any supported device or browser. You can also switch back to using a password or a one-time code anytime you want.

Passkeys are part of a larger movement to make the internet more secure and convenient by eliminating passwords. Other big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are also working on passkey technology for their own services and platforms. Passkeys are based on an industry standard called FIDO2, which stands for Fast Identity Online 2. FIDO2 is supported by hundreds of companies and organizations that want to make the internet safer and easier for everyone.

So what are you waiting for? Join the passkey revolution and start shopping on Amazon without a password today. You’ll be amazed by how much time and hassle you’ll save, and how much more secure you’ll feel. Passkeys are the future of online authentication, and Amazon is leading the way.
