Set up a Shop Passkey

You can sign in to your Shop account using passkeys as an alternative to SMS or email verification. Passkeys let you use face or fingerprint recognition, or a PIN to quickly and securely sign you in to Shop. You can use your Shop passkey when you do the following:

• log in to Shop using a web browser
• check out using Shop Pay
• follow an online store on Shop
• sign up for email marketing 
• log in to your customer account
