    Oops, 2FA support is already there.  Still would like passkey support.

    Thanks for posting on our Community, lvjanzen!
     
    When saying “passkey”, are you referring to a security key perhaps, like the one mentioned here
     
    Let me know and we’ll go from there.

    Hi. I was just able to set up a Passkey using my PC, but the process is not intuitive and IMHO could be improved quite a bit.

    First of all, all the prompts talk about inserting a physical security key.  In fact you can say that you inserted a physical key even though you didn't, and it'll go ahead and create a passkey using your computer's built in passkey creator or a 3rd party one (e.g. for a password manager).    It would be much better if the prompts indicated that you could create an actual passkey and took you through the process, not just add a physical security key.

    Also, it would be really great if you could set up a passkey without having to also set up an app or mobile number for 2 factor authentication.  I prefer if this was separate to two factor authentication.

    Maybe this can't be done in the short term, but in the long run, it would be great if you never had to create or use a password again.

    Dropbox! Please add passkey support ASAP! It is the new standard and is a lot more secure than using username and password, since passkeys cannot be intercepted or stolen.
