A passkey is a secure digital key, allowing you to log into Payroll without the need to enter a password. This method of logging in is secure, as a password can be shared around without authorisation, while a passkey is often encrypted within a password manager.
This article explains how to:
Getting started

- Log in to Payroll.
- Click on your name in the top-right corner, then select My Account.
- Click on Security.
- Under Passkeys, select Add Passkey.
- Re-enter your account password.
- Click on Continue.
- Once the passkey has been created, you will see a green Passkey successfully added tag and will also receive an email notifying you of the new passkey.
