We’ll remove passwords from the sign‑in screen as part of this change. Until then, sign in with your username and either your card reader or memorable information. You’ll still need extra security for some tasks, such as payments.

The benefits of logging in with a passkey

Swift

Log in faster with your face, fingerprint or device PIN.

Simple

There’s no long passwords or codes to recall.

Secure

No one can guess or share your passkey, protecting you against online fraud.

What makes passkeys so secure?

When you create a passkey, your device creates two linked digital keys - a private key and a public key.
 

  • Your private key stays on your device and is never shared.
  • Your public key is shared with the bank and stored securely.

Both keys are needed to sign in.

Because your private key never leaves your device, passkeys help protect you from common threats like phishing and stolen passwords.
