Tokocrypto has introduced a new feature designed to provide an extra layer of security for its users. This feature, known as "Passkey," is aimed at safeguarding your digital assets. In this article, we'll discuss how to activate Passkey on your Tokocrypto account and why it's essential for the security of your digital assets.
What is Passkey?
Passkey is one of Tokocrypto's latest security features that allows you to verify your identity more easily using fingerprint or facial recognition (Face ID). Passkey not only secures your account but also offers better protection against phishing attacks.
Interestingly, once you activate the Passkey feature, you will no longer need to use Google Authenticator for verification when logging in or making withdrawals on the Tokocrypto app, making the app more convenient and user-friendly.
Where Can Passkey Be Used?
Passkey will simplify your transactions on the Tokocrypto app. Once activated, you can use it as a replacement for 2FA on your device for activities including:
- Logging into your Tokocrypto account
- Withdrawing FIAT
- Withdrawing Crypto
Steps to Activate Passkey in the Tokocrypto App
Here are the steps to activate Passkey on your Tokocrypto account:
1. Open the Tokocrypto App: First, open the Tokocrypto app on your smartphone. Could you make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of the app?
2. Go to Your Profile: After opening the app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen to access your profile menu.
3. Select Security Menu: In your profile menu, choose the "Security" option. This will take you to your account security settings.

5. Add Passkey: Once you have activated Passkey, you will be prompted to add your Passkey. Tap the "Add Passkey" option to continue.
