Greetings from pixiv.
Starting June 17th, 2024, you can use a passkey to log in to your pixiv account.
Passkeys are available on the smartphone and desktop versions of pixiv, and the pixiv app.
A passkey is an authentication method that replaces a password and uses built-in device authentication functions such as face or fingerprint recognition, PIN code, etc. Passkeys make login easier and more secure, for both smartphones and PCs.
Features
Passkeys make logging in easier as they use the device's built-in authentication features such as face or fingerprint authentication, PIN code, etc.
Passkeys are created and saved for each device or cloud service, so there is no need to remember them like passwords. They are safe because third parties cannot guess them and cannot be reused on other sites.
Your face, fingerprint, PIN, etc. will not be shared with pixiv.
Logging in with a passkey is available on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac devices.
*It may not be available depending on the OS/browser version.
