III. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is a Passkey?
A Passkey is an authentication method based on public-key cryptography. It allows you to verify your identity using supported device authentication methods, such as biometrics or device screen lock verification, reducing reliance on traditional passwords or verification codes.
Q2: What should I do if I cannot set up a Passkey?
Please check the following:
- Ensure that your device has a screen lock or biometric authentication method enabled.
- Verify that your device’s operating system and the CoinUp APP version meet the applicable requirements.
- Check your internet connection and try setting up the Passkey again by following the on-screen instructions.
- If the issue persists, contact CoinUp Customer Support and provide the relevant error message for further investigation.
Q3: Can I still use my existing Passkey after changing phones?
Whether your existing Passkey remains available depends on how it is stored, your synchronization settings, and whether your new device supports it. Before changing devices, we recommend verifying that your existing Passkey will remain accessible and following the system instructions to configure your new device.
Q4: Will I still need other verification methods after setting up a Passkey?
Certain account operations may still require additional identity verification. The applicable requirements are subject to the instructions displayed in the CoinUp APP and the platform’s security policies.
Q5: Does setting up a Passkey guarantee complete account security?
A Passkey helps enhance authentication security but cannot eliminate all account security risks. Never share your verification codes, passwords, or device unlock credentials with others, and access the platform only through official CoinUp channels.
If you encounter any issues during setup, please contact CoinUp Customer Support for assistance.
