Signing in with a Passkey in the Ísland.is App
In the Ísland.is app, you can now use a passkey to sign int to websites that rely on the Ísland.is authentication service, such as My pages and the Application system.
Passkeys provide a secure and convenient way to navigate between the services without using passwords or electronic credentials. A passkey is a digital identity stored on you device (e.g. phone or computer) and uses biometrics (face or fingerprint) or a Pin to verify the login.
How to enable a Passkey:
In the Settings section of the Ísland.is app, select Create a Passkey.
A setup window will open to guide you through the process.
The setup method depends on your device – please follow the on-screen instructions.
The next time you access a secure website through the app, you can authenticate with your passkey instead of signing in with electronic credentials.
Logging out of the app will delete the passkey.
