Passkey

The video provides a comprehensive guide on how to set up and use Passkeys in Odoo18, offering a more secure and faster way to log in without needing a password or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

• Understanding Passkeys: The video explains that Passkeys are a secure alternative to traditional usernames and passwords, using the WebAuthn protocol to allow logins via biometrics (like fingerprints or facial recognition) or security keys.
• Activating the Module: To begin, navigate to the Apps menu, search for “Passkeys,” and click the Activate button to enable the feature in your Odoo database.
• Accessing Security Settings: Once the module is active, go to your User Profile by clicking your avatar in the top right and select the Account Security tab.
• Registering a Passkey: Under the Passkeys section, click “Add Passkey,” provide a name for the device (e.g., “Work Laptop”), and follow your operating system’s prompts to scan your fingerprint or use a security key.
• Bypassing MFA: The video highlights a major benefit: when logging in with a registered Passkey, the system considers the session secure enough that it will not prompt for additional MFA codes.
• Login Experience: The walkthrough concludes by showing the login screen, where a user simply clicks “Sign in with Passkey” and uses their biometric sensor to gain instant access to their account.
