Passkey support for ZAP-Hosting accounts

You can now secure your ZAP-Hosting customer account even better: In addition to classic methods like TOTP (Authenticator apps), we’ve added support for hardware-based two-factor authentication using passkeys.

What are passkeys?

Passkeys are a modern, highly secure way to log in using a device-bound authentication method. Examples include:

• Security keys such as YubiKeys
• Face ID (Apple)
• Built-in fingerprint readers (e.g., Windows Hello or laptop sensors)

How to add passkeys to your account

Under Security, you’ll find a new option called “Hardware authentication”. From there, you can add and manage your preferred passkeys.

The new option also lets you:

• edit the description of your linked devices (e.g., “Office YubiKey” / “iPhone Face ID”)
• delete passkeys you no longer want to use

Login: choose TOTP or passkey

If multiple authentication methods are configured for your account, you can choose during login whether you want to use TOTP or hardware-based authentication (passkey)
