More secure access with Passkeys

With QuizTime v1.4, we introduce support for passkeys — a next-generation authentication method that replaces traditional passwords.

What is a passkey?

A passkey is a cryptographic credential tied to your device. It's not a password you can forget or that someone can steal: it's a secure mechanism managed by your operating system.

  • On iPhone and iPad, your passkey is protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, and syncs automatically across your Apple devices via iCloud Keychain
  • On Android, it's protected by your fingerprint, face unlock, or PIN, and syncs via Google Password Manager

What changes for you

  • Easy setup — from a dedicated setup screen with platform-specific instructions, creating your passkey takes just a few taps
  • Account recovery — if you switch devices or reinstall the app, the welcome screen includes an "I already have an account" option that lets you recover your profile with the passkey
  • Visible status — the profile menu shows a green icon labeled "Account Secured" when your passkey is active, or an orange alert prompting you to set one up

A stronger foundation

This release also includes important improvements under the hood: better error handling, memory leak fixes, accessibility attributes on all interactive components, and the introduction of a CI/CD pipeline for production releases.
