Introducing Passkeys

A simpler, more secure way to sign in.

What are passkeys?

Passkeys are a new, more secure way to sign in without using a password. Instead of remembering (or re-setting) a password, you can store a passkey on your device or password manager. When you want to sign in, your device or password manager confirms it’s really you and securely completes the sign in for you.

No passwords

Passkeys let you access your TaxAct account without typing a password. Your passkey is stored securely on your device or password manager, so you can sign in quickly and get back to your return with fewer steps.

Built-in security

Passkeys use modern encryption and only work on the our official TaxAct site, making them more resistant to being guessed or phished like traditional passwords, and helping keep your tax and financial information safer.

Your device holds the key

Your passkey is stored on your device or password manager, never on TaxAct servers. Even if someone knows your email, they cannot access your account without your trusted device or password manager.

  • Passkeys give you a smoother and safer sign-in experience.

  • No more complex password rules to remember.

  • Fast, seamless sign in: simply choose your saved passkey and you’re in.

  • Passkeys are more resistant to being guessed, stolen, or phished, making them more secure than passwords.

  • Works with your password manager, and many devices like iPhones and browsers like Chrome have built-in password managers to support storing passkeys.
