Setting up a passkey takes about a minute and removes the need to type a password on every sign-in. A passkey is stored on your phone, computer, password manager or security key — and it is tied to our genuine site, so it will never work on a fake look-alike domain. For an overview of what passkeys are and why they are safer, see how passkeys work on Credicorp sign-in.
Before you start
You need a device or password manager that supports passkeys. Most modern phones, laptops and browsers do — including iPhones and iPads (iOS 16+), Android phones (Android 9+), Windows (Windows Hello), Macs (Touch ID or Apple Silicon), and password managers such as 1Password, Bitwarden, iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager. A hardware security key (such as a YubiKey) also works.
Make sure your device is unlocked and that Bluetooth is on if you are using a phone to sign in on a desktop browser — the browser may need to talk to your phone to complete the passkey check.
Step 1: sign in with your current method
Start at clients.credicorp.co.uk/login and sign in with your existing email and password. You cannot create a passkey without first signing in — this is how we confirm the passkey belongs to the right account.
Step 2: go to your security settings
Once signed in, open Settings and look for the Security or Sign-in methods section. Select Add a passkey or Register a passkey. The exact label may vary, but the action is the same.
Step 3: create the passkey
Your browser or device will prompt you to verify your identity — typically with a fingerprint, face scan, device PIN or security key tap. This verification happens on your device and is never sent to Credicorp. Once confirmed, the passkey is created and linked to your account.
You can name the passkey so you can tell it apart later — for example, "Work iPhone" or "1Password vault". This is helpful if you register more than one.
Step 4: sign in with your passkey next time
The next time you visit the sign-in page, select Sign in with a passkey instead of typing your password. Your device will ask you to unlock (fingerprint, face or PIN) and the sign-in completes. There is no password to remember or type.
Registering more than one passkey
It is a good idea to register at least two passkeys on different devices — for example, one on your phone and one in a password manager. If you lose a device, you can still sign in with the other one. You can register additional passkeys from the same Security settings page.
If you lose the device with your passkey
You can still sign in with your email and password as a fallback. If you have registered a second passkey, use that instead. Once you are back in, go to Security settings and remove the passkey tied to the lost device. You can also register a new one. See what is a trusted device and how do I remove one for the removal steps.
Removing a passkey you no longer use
If you replace a device or stop using a password manager, remove its passkey from your account. Go to Settings → Security, find the passkey in your list, and select Remove. This stops the old passkey from being accepted, even if the device still holds it.
