# Set up a passkey

How to register a passkey for your Haut.AI SaaS account and sign in with your device instead of your email.

This page is for Haut.AI SaaS users who want to sign in with a passkey. By the end, you'll have a passkey registered on your device and be able to sign in without entering your email first.

A passkey lets you sign in with your device's biometrics (Touch ID, Face ID, or Windows Hello) or a hardware security key, instead of a one-time email link or a social account. The passkey is stored on your device, so there is no password to remember or reset.

## Before you start

* You are signed in to [Haut.AI SaaS](https://saas.haut.ai/app).
* You have a device with biometrics (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) or a hardware security key.
* You are using a current version of a browser that supports passkeys (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox).

## Register a passkey

### 1. Open your settings

Open **Settings** from your account menu. You'll see the **Two-factor authentication**, **Passkey**, and **Billing** sections.

### 2. Add a passkey

In the **Passkey** section, click **Add passkey**. If you already have a passkey registered, the button reads **Add another passkey** — you can register more than one (for example, one on your laptop and one on your phone).

### 3. Confirm with your device

Your browser or device shows a passkey prompt. Follow it to confirm with your biometrics or hardware security key. When you save the passkey on the device, it is created as a resident key, which is what lets you sign in later without typing your email.

### 4. Check that it registered

The **Passkey** section now shows **Passkey is registered**. Your passkey is ready to use.

## Sign in with your passkey

On the [sign-in page](https://saas.haut.ai/app), choose to sign in with a passkey and confirm with your device. Because the passkey is stored on your device, you don't need to enter your email first.

{% endhint %}

## Troubleshooting

**I don't see the Passkey section in Settings**

You need to be signed in to see your settings. Refresh the Settings page, and make sure you are on your account, not an admin-only view.

**My browser doesn't show a passkey prompt**

Your browser or device may not support passkeys, or the feature may be turned off. Use a current version of Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox, or plug in a hardware security key and try again.

**I registered a passkey but still have to type my email to sign in**

The passkey must be saved on the device as a resident key for email-free sign-in to work. Register the passkey again and choose to save it on this device when the prompt appears.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.saas.haut.ai/haut.ai/administration/login-and-authentication/set-up-a-passkey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
