To enhance security and convenience, we are introducing a new feature—Passkey! A passkey is a passwordless login method designed to replace traditional passwords and provide a more secure and user-friendly experience.
Note:
Currently, only the iOS version of the BIT App supports passkeys. Support for Android and Web versions is coming soon.
Passkeys are temporarily limited to withdrawal security verification.
The original "Secure Device" feature on the Web version has been merged into "Passkey," and previously linked "secure devices" will no longer be supported.
What is a Passkey?
Fast Identity Online (FIDO) passkeys are used for two-factor authentication, enabling a password-free, verification-code-free login experience. They provide the strongest account security based on global standards and support synchronization across multiple devices. Users simply select a device with a configured passkey and complete verification using fingerprint, face recognition, or device password. Learn more about FIDO: https://fidoalliance.org/fido2/
Advantages of a Passkey
More secure:
Passkeys leverage public-private key mechanisms, eliminating risks of password leaks or authentication breaches, and offer protection against phishing and function injection attacks.
More convenient:
Users can complete security verification without entering passwords or codes—simply use biometric verification on a configured device.
Better experience:
Passkeys can sync across multiple devices, enabling seamless passwordless login anytime, anywhere, simplifying processes, and enhancing user experience.
How to use a Passkey?
Enable Passkey
Go to "Profile - Security Center - Authentication Method - Passkey" in the app to enable the passkey feature.
Verify with Passkey
If a passkey is bound to your account, it will be prioritized for verification during withdrawals.
If the passkey verification fails, traditional verification methods are still available.
