Accounts and passkeys

Sign in

Open http://localhost:8090/home/ and select Use passkey. Confirm with Touch ID, your phone or your security key. If sign-in fails, the lock screen says why.

Add a second passkey

Do this soon, so you are not locked out if you lose one device.

1. Open System > Accounts.
2. Select Add passkey (admins only).
3. Confirm with your current passkey.
4. Create the new passkey on another device or a FIDO2 security key.

Admins and guests

• The first account on a Home is the admin. Admins manage passkeys, models, updates and security.
• To let other people create their own guest account on your Home, turn on System > Security > Guest access. They then choose Create guest account on the sign-in screen.
• In System > Accounts, an admin can Make admin, Make guest or Remove an account’s passkeys.
• Guests cannot see the security log or use the Terminal.
• Each account has its own private area. Other accounts cannot open your files.

Lost a passkey?

• If you still have another passkey, sign in with it and Remove the lost one in System > Accounts.
• If you lost every passkey, use your Recovery Kit. See Data and backup.
