How to Manage Your Passkeys in Pera

Managing Passkeys in Pera Wallet

This is a guide on how to set up Passkey support in Pera Wallet.

Initial Passkey Setup (Universal Wallets Only)

Getting started with passkeys in Pera Wallet is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Settings in the Pera Wallet App

1. Open the Pera Wallet app.
2. Navigate to the More section.
3. Tap the Settings gear icon in the upper-right corner.

Step 2: Access the Passkeys Menu

In the Settings menu, tap on Passkeys.

Step 3: Enable Passkeys on Your Device (If Needed)

If passkeys are not yet enabled on your device, you’ll need to turn them on before you can register:

• On iOS: Go to Settings > General > AutoFill & Passwords
• On Android: Go to Settings > Passwords, Passkeys & Accounts

Step 4: Start Registering Passkeys

Once passkeys are enabled, return to the Pera Wallet app. You can now begin registering passkeys using your Universal Wallet.

Managing your Passkeys

Once you’ve completed your passkey setup, managing them is simple right from the Pera Wallet app.

View Your Stored Passkeys

1. Open the Pera Wallet app.
2. Go to the More section and tap the Settings gear in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Passkeys to view your registered passkeys.

Delete a Passkey

1. From the Passkeys screen, locate the passkey you want to remove.
2. Tap to delete it and confirm the action.

Deleting a passkey removes it from this device. If Cloud Backup is on, Pera asks whether to Keep it or Delete from Cloud Backup; deleting from the backup removes it permanently.

Passkeys derived from a Universal Wallet restore with the wallet or with your Cloud Backup. Older passkeys can’t be restored from your recovery passphrase: Pera lists them under Recovery isn’t available. Remove each one and create it again on its site, but only while you can still sign in to that site another way.
