What is a passkey?

A passkey is a password alternative that helps you securely sign in with a key unique to you, like your fingerprint or face. They're more secure and convenient than passwords, but you can use both to sign in.

Was this information helpful?

How do I create a passkey?

To create a passkey, sign in using your password, then visit Sign in & security from your Account settings.

Was this information helpful?

Do I need to remember my passkey like a password?

No. When you sign in with a passkey, you’ll be prompted to provide the key you’ve chosen for it (like your fingerprint).

Was this information helpful?

How are passkeys more secure than passwords?

Unlike passwords, passkeys aren’t vulnerable to hacks because they’re stored locally on your device. Passkeys are encrypted and unique to you, meaning no bad actors can guess them.

Was this information helpful?

Who has access to my passkey?

Only you have access to your passkey. Once you add one to your account, Target will know you’ve enabled signing in with a passkey, but we won’t be able to access any other information about it. Target will never see or store your passkey or the key you chose to create it.

Was this information helpful?

Can I use a passkey on multiple devices?

Passkeys are saved to your password manager, so you can use them to sign in across multiple devices. When you sign in, select the passkey option, then follow your device or browser’s instructions. Depending on your device, you can either input your key directly, or use the device you used to create your passkey to complete your sign-in.

Was this information helpful?

What if I want to remove a passkey?

You can remove a passkey any time from your Sign in & security settings. Removing a passkey from Target only removes it from your account. To delete a passkey altogether, you’ll need to manually delete it from your browser or system settings.

Why did I receive unfamiliar order information?

In most instances, these situations are the result of mistyped entries by guests with personal information similar to yours, such as a similar phone number or email address. While you may occasionally receive unfamiliar order information due to these typographical errors, there is no associated security risk for either party.

If you suspect that your personal information has been compromised, please review all Target.com orders and associated payment information, then contact your financial institution for any unidentified charges. If needed, please chat or give us a call at 1-800-591-3869, and our team members will be happy to assist in disabling the Target.com account.

We also encourage you to change the passwords associated with your personal email, shopping information and online banking access to maintain strong security.
