Passkeys
Trimble recommends setting up a passkey as the preferred Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method for your Trimble ID account. Passkeys are encrypted digital keys generated by your device using your fingerprint, Face ID, or PIN. They offer a more secure and convenient alternative to passwords and traditional two-factor authentication.
Tip : You can set up more than one passkey. Having multiple passkeys can help make sure you can access your account if you lose access to a passkey. Even if you only have one passkey, SketchUp recommends you set up more than one MFA method.

Logging In with a Passkey
After creating your passkey you can then select Use a Passkey on the login screen to access your Trimble account. A prompt will appear asking for your passkey.
