Passkeys
Passkeys are a modern, phishing-resistant replacement for passwords. In BrightBlur, they do double duty — they authenticate you to the server and unlock your local encryption keys in a single step.
Why use a passkey?
Section titled “Why use a passkey?”- Phishing protection — passkeys are cryptographically bound to the BrightBlur domain. They cannot be tricked into working on a fake site.
- Biometric login — use your fingerprint or face to log in.
- One-step unlock — BrightBlur uses the WebAuthn PRF extension to derive an encryption key directly from your biometric prompt, so logging in also unlocks your photos.
