Log in with Passkeys

As part of our continued commitment to protecting your personal information, Checkwriters offers the option of logging in to our Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal using a passkey.

Note: While Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enrollment is mandatory for all ESS users, enabling passkeys is optional.

 

What is a Passkey?

Passkeys offer an alternative, secure way to log in to an account, bypassing the need for long passwords and 2FA.

Passkeys come in many forms, but you’re most likely to use biometric options built into your mobile device, like fingerprint and facial recognition, to log in to Checkwriters.

Important: To use these biometric passkeys for Checkwriters, you’ll need to have the option set up in your mobile device’s settings. We’ve gathered a few resources for popular phone models:
