Enable Passkeys in Codebook

Passkeys are a new type of login credential that allow you to login to sites and services without having to enter a password. There are settings that are required to allow you to create and use passkeys in Codebook.

NOTE: Codebook's passkey functionality has been tested with the following browsers: Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Using passkeys for other credential providers is not widely supported in other browsers.

There is no mechanism to migrate existing passkeys to Codebook. You'll need to create a new passkey for each website/application in order to save your passkey in Codebook.

Use these settings to authorize Codebook as your passkey service.
