Amazon UK Seller Central has added passkey sign-in, allowing users to replace a traditional password with a fingerprint, face recognition, or screen lock on their device. Amazon says signing in with a passkey is six times faster than entering a password. Passkeys can sync across devices using the same password manager, take less than a minute to set up, and can be configured on the Login & Security page.
An Amazon Canada announcement recommends that sellers set up a Passkey in Seller Central, using their device’s existing fingerprint, face recognition, or screen lock instead of a traditional password. Passkey login is six times faster than entering a password and can sync across laptops, phones, and tablets that share the same password manager, with no need to register again. To set it up, select Passkey on the Login & Security page and confirm with a fingerprint, face recognition, QR code, or PIN. It takes less than a minute.
