Instead of typing your password every time, you can unlock the system with your fingerprint or face — Face ID and Touch ID on Apple devices, fingerprint or face unlock on Android and Windows Hello on a PC.
Your password keeps working exactly as before. Biometric login is a faster way in, not a replacement, so you can never lock yourself out by using it.
Your fingerprint or face never leaves your device and is never sent to us. The device simply confirms it is you, and only that confirmation is passed on.
You enable it once per device, from the device you want to use:
That device is now trusted and appears in the list.
{primary.fa-info-circle} You must repeat this on every device you want to use it on — your phone and your office computer are two separate trusted devices.
Once a device is trusted, the login page on that device leads with Unlock with biometrics. Tap it, confirm with your fingerprint or face, and you are in.
If you would rather type your password that time, choose Use password instead. The normal login form appears, and Back to biometrics returns you.
{warning.fa-info-circle} On a device where you have not yet added biometrics, the login page looks completely normal and shows only the password form. This is deliberate: the button appears only once there is something on that device to unlock with.
The Trusted devices list in your profile shows every device you have added, with the date it was last used. Remove any device you no longer own or recognise — removing it only affects biometric unlock on that device; your password is unchanged.
For your safety, you may be asked to confirm your password before adding or removing a device.
