Setting up a passkey

Currently, login with passkeys is supported both as a passwordless login and as a second factor. Passkeys, like other tokens, are managed at https://my.scc.kit.edu/token.

As there is a vast number of options for using passkeys, the SCC cannot support all combinations. The options that we have tested and that work are described below. It is very possible that a combination not listed will still work.

  • Centrally managed workstation (requires Windows 11 23H2 with TPM and a Hello-capable device: fingerprint reader or camera)
  • Yubikey 5 NFC, Yubikey Bio, Yubikey "Security key NFC" (blue)
  • Thetis PRO-C FIDO2
  • iPhone with iOS 18

Starting the setup

Please visit the website https://my.scc.kit.edu/token and click on the "New token" button. Switch to the "Passkey" tab and start the setup by clicking on "Start". Your browser and operating system will then guide you through the rest of the setup process. If you are prompted to confirm that "kit.edu" is collecting data about your device, you must agree to this. Otherwise the setup cannot be completed successfully.

If the setup process fails, the temporarily created passkey will be automatically deleted. You will receive an e-mail about this.
