Passkey as alternative to Master password login

[cmac18]

Please offer the ability to add a passkey for Enpass itself for desktop and mobile.

This would give users added safety with a backup option to log into Enpass in case we forget or lose our master password AND biometric authentication gives problems (e.g. my thumbprint often fails in the winter when my hands dry up).

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, Enpass already supports the feature you mentioned. You can create a key file and use it during login, but please note that this feature currently works only in conjunction with the master password.

Thanks @Amandeep Kumar. After reading about keyfiles, my understanding is that this approach doesn't actually eliminate the need to remember your master password, so my concern above isn't actually addressed. Ideally, I'd be able to create passkeys for Enpass on my desktop & mobile devices to ensure I'll never accidentally get locked out of Enpass (which would probably ruin my life!).

I'll leave this feedback with you and team for future considerations. Thank you
