Pay Passkey FAQ
When using Pay, it's important to understand how your Pay account and Passkey work together to ensure secure and seamless transactions. Your Pay account is powered by a smart contract wallet, and a Passkey is automatically created when the account is set up. This Passkey is essential for authorizing all Pay mode transactions, acting as a secure signature unique to you. It's worth noting that for your security, we can't access, generate, or modify your Passkey in any way.
