Salesforce made a change recently that was unannounced in a plain way and was ambiguous, so I have created a relatively simple process for setting up a passkey for Salesforce admins to create and use Passkey to log into Salesforce. This is unfortunately required, but should only take a few minutes to set up.
The easiest and best option: Google passkey
You will need to use Google Chrome for this method.
Setup Steps
- Go to Google Passkeys Setup on your phone, tablet, or computer.
- Sign in to your google account and type your normal username and password if asked
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, select Profile
Sign in to Chrome. - Enter your sign-in info.
- Select Next.
- Click or tap Create a passkey.
- Confirm by creating a 6 digit PIN when your device asks for
- Log into Salesforce in Chrome while you are logged into your google account, and it will recognize the passkey you created
