Nintendo has implemented a feature that will change the way users access their accounts. Now, iOS and Android device owners can log in using ‘passkeys’, It eliminates the need for traditional passwords.

Passkeys are a solution that links a private key to the user’s account on their device, providing a highly secure login method.
This means people will no longer have to worry about remembering complex passwords. Instead, they can leverage their device’s facial recognition or fingerprint to quickly and easily authenticate.
Login is confirmed by one of the biometric recognition methods available on the device in question, such as facial recognition or fingerprint.

This new biometric sign-in method is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 16 or later, as well as Android devices running Android 9 or later. Users running iPadOS 16 or later and Macs running macOS 13 or later can also benefit from this functionality.
Nintendo emphasizes the importance of security when implementing this feature. By registering a ‘passkey’ to their Nintendo account, users add an extra layer of protection that makes it harder for others to gain unauthorized access. To further ensure security, users have the option to register up to ten different ‘passkeys’ on a single Nintendo account; but if they want to add more they will need to delete one of them.
Setting a ‘passkey’ is a simple process. Internet users must go to the Nintendo Account login page from the device on which they want to set the key.
Once logged in, they can access the ‘Login & Security Settings’ menu, select ‘Passwords’ and then ‘Edit’. From this tab, following the instructions provided by the device will enable ‘passwords’ to be configured without any problems.
