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.
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)
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
