Easy Login: Setting Up Passkeys
Passkeys are a new, easier, and more secure way to log into your Miami Realtors dashboard. Once set up on a device, you will no longer need your MLS username, password, or six digit code for login.
What is a Passkey?
A Passkey is a replacement for your password. It uses the biometric security (like fingerprint or facial recognition) or device-specific security (like a PIN) already set up on your phone, tablet, or computer (via tools like iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, or Windows Hello) to log you in instantly.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your First Passkey
You must set up the Passkey on each device you wish to use for easy login.

What if my computer doesn't have a fingerprint reader?
- If you are logging in on a device that does not have biometrics (like an older desktop), you can still use a passkey that is already set up on your phone:
- On the login screen, click Sign in with Passkey.
- Select Use different passkeys or Use phone, tablet, or security key.
- A QR code will appear on the computer screen.
- Scan this QR code with your mobile phone (which has the passkey set up).
Your phone will prompt you to use its biometrics (e.g., fingerprint) to approve the login, and you will be logged into the computer.
- Once you have used your mobile device for your biometric passkey, you will be logged into your laptop or desktop account.
✅ Success! Your passkey is now created for this specific device. The next time you log in on this device, you will simply click "Sign in with Passkey."
