What are Passkeys?
The End of
Passwords.
Passkeys are a modern, secure replacement for passwords. Instead of typing a complex string of characters that can be stolen or guessed, you sign in using the same biometric method you use to unlock your phone—like Face ID, Touch ID, or a fingerprint.
Unphishable Security
Passkeys rely on public-key cryptography. The "private key" never leaves your device. Even if a hacker creates a fake website, your passkey won't work on it.
Biometric Ease
No more "Forgot Password" links. Your face or fingerprint is the key. It's faster, easier, and inherently tied to the physical user.
Why ProofClock Uses Passkeys
For staff attendance, 'buddy punching' (clocking in for a friend) is a major issue with passwords or PINs. Passkeys solve this because they require the physical device AND the biometric verification of the owner.
