# Passkeys

If you have ever had to reset a forgotten password you are definitely not alone. According to a recent study, many people create and manage up to an astonishing 100 passwords. With that many passwords to juggle it's no wonder one or two might be forgotten. This is the reason that **passkeys** exist.

**Passkeys** is the new industry standard for secure sign in to your apps and websites without using a password. Daylite has adopted passkeys to give you a simple and secure way to sign in. Passkeys are stored in Apple's iCloud Keychain so they are securely available on all your Apple devices.

There are two system requirements to use **passkeys**:

* You must update your Apple device to iOS 16 or macOS 14.4 Sonoma (or newer).
* You must enable [Two Factor Authentication](/help/learn/scale-your-business/two-factor.md).

## Adding a Passkey

To add a **passkey** to your Daylite account open Safari on a device logged in to your Apple ID with iCloud Keychain turned on.

You can add a **passkey** using these steps:

1. Sign into [**Account Manager**](https://www.marketcircle.com/account/login).

2. **Passkeys** requires you to [turn on Two-Factor Authentication](https://github.com/Marketcircle/learn-gitbook-test-v4/blob/main/learn-articles/mac/english/scale/two-factor-authentication.md). This ensures your account is secure, and offers an alternative login method, using your password and verification code.
