Use passwords and passkeys across your devices
Using your LuxID password across devices
Your LuxID password works on any device with a web browser. Simply go to the LuxID sign-in page (opens in a new tab) or the sign-in page of any LuxID Partner service and enter your email address and password.
To manage your password across multiple devices conveniently, consider using a password manager. See Password managers for recommendations.
Using passkeys across devices
Passkeys are a modern, passwordless way to sign in to your LuxID Account. A passkey is stored on your device and uses biometrics (fingerprint, face recognition) or a PIN to authenticate you.
Syncing passkeys across devices
Passkeys can be synced across your devices through your platform's built-in credential management:
- Apple iCloud Keychain - Syncs passkeys across iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices signed into the same Apple Account.
- Google Password Manager - Syncs passkeys across Android devices and Chrome signed into the same Google Account.
- Password managers - Many third-party password managers (such as Bitwarden, 1Password, Dashlane, and others) can store and sync passkeys across platforms.
Using a passkey on a different device
You can use a passkey stored on your phone to sign in on a computer:
- On the computer, go to the LuxID sign-in page and enter your email address.
- When prompted for a passkey, choose the option to use a device nearby.
- Scan the QR code with your phone.
- Authenticate on your phone (fingerprint, face, or PIN).
This is useful when signing in on a public or borrowed computer without registering a passkey on it.
Adding passkeys on new devices
When you get a new device:
- Sign in to your LuxID Account (opens in a new tab) using your password (or an existing passkey on another device).
- Go to Security.
- Register a new passkey for the new device.
You can register multiple passkeys for different devices.
Removing passkeys from old devices
If you sell, lose, or stop using a device:
- Sign in to your LuxID Account (opens in a new tab).
- Go to Security.
- Remove the passkey associated with the old device.
