Note
You may not be able to use passkeys, if a site administrator has disabled them for your instance.
This version of GitHub Enterprise Server will be discontinued on 2026-03-17. No patch releases will be made, even for critical security issues. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to the latest version of GitHub Enterprise Server. For help with the upgrade, contact GitHub Enterprise support.
Authenticating with a passkey
You can add passkeys to your account so that you can sign in safely and easily, without requiring a password and two-factor authentication. You can also use passkeys when performing a sensitive action (sudo mode), or to authenticate a password reset.
