# Overview

**Passkeys** provide a passwordless authentication solution based on the WebAuthn standard. By using device-based methods such as fingerprints, facial recognition (FaceID), or a hardware security key, you can provide a modern, highly secure, and friction-free login experience for your users. To access the Passkeys management dashboard, navigate to: **Ultimate Security → Login & Authentication →** **Two-Factor Authentication** →** Passkeys → Overview**

- **Users:** The total number of unique users who have at least one passkey registered.

- **Passkeys:** The total count of active passkeys currently enrolled across the entire site.

- **Activities:** A tally of all authentication events processed via WebAuthn.

- **Challenges:** The number of cryptographic challenges issued by the server to verify user identity.

## Quick Actions

From the Overview screen, you can quickly jump to specific management tasks using the following buttons:

- **Settings:** Configure global passkey behavior, such as user enrollment rules and authentication requirements.

- **Activity Log:** View a detailed audit trail of all biometric login attempts and registrations.

- **Manage Passkeys:** Direct access to add, remove, or rename passkeys for your account.

## Authenticator Types

This section displays a distribution chart of the devices and methods your users are choosing for authentication. Common types include:

- **Platform Authenticators:** Built-in methods like Windows Hello, Touch ID (macOS/iOS), or Android Biometrics.

- **Cross-Platform Authenticators:** External hardware keys (USB/NFC/Bluetooth) used for logging in across multiple devices.

### Recent Activity

The **Recent Activity** log provides a real-time feed of login events. This allows administrators to monitor:

- Which user logged in.

- The timestamp of the authentication.

- The status (Success/Failure) of the biometric verification.
