Signing Up with Email
This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a new AppKeyId account. AppKeyId uses FIDO2 passkeys to authenticate users and protect account access with biometric verification.
Step 1: Go to AppKeyId
Open your browser and go to:
You will be shown the AppKeyId signup page.
Step 2: Enter Your Email Address
Enter the email address you want to associate with your AppKeyId account.
Each AppKeyId account has a unique email address associated with it. AppKeyId will verify that you own this email address by sending you a unique six-digit verification code.
Before creating your account, review and accept the Terms of Service agreement.
After entering your email address and accepting the Terms of Service, click the Create Account button.
Step 3: Create Your AppKeyId Passkey
Next, AppKeyId will prompt you to create a passkey for the email address you entered.
On Apple devices, this passkey can be saved in your iCloud Keychain. The passkey is only accessible through biometric verification, such as a fingerprint on a desktop computer or Face ID on a mobile device.
This passkey will be used to securely authenticate you when you log in to AppKeyId.
Step 4: Check Your Email for the Verification Code
After creating your passkey, AppKeyId will send a six-digit verification code to the email address you entered.
Open your email inbox and locate the message from AppKeyId.
Step 5: Enter the Verification Code
Return to the AppKeyId interface and enter the six-digit verification code from your email.
You will also be prompted to enter your name and company. After completing these fields, click the Submit button.
Step 6: Create Your User Name
Finally, AppKeyId will prompt you to create a unique user name.
AppKeyId does not typically share email addresses between users. Instead, users are identified by their unique user names. This helps protect user privacy.
When another user becomes a trusted contact, contact email addresses may then be shared between those trusted users.
Create your user name and continue.
Step 7: Your Account Is Ready
Your AppKeyId account has now been created.
You are now signed in and ready to use AppKeyId.
