Create a passkey on your own profile
How to use Care Identity Management to create a passkey that you can then use to authenticate in place of a smartcard.
Register your device
Go to the Care Identity Management start page and log in with your existing authenticator.
When you've logged in to Care Identity Management without a Registration Authority role, select the option to 'Add other authenticators'.
Alternatively you can use the home page panel to 'View your profile', then in the 'Authenticators' tab select 'Add authenticators'.
From the list of authenticators, select 'Passkey'.
Next confirm that only you will have access to the passkey on the device, and select 'Create a passkey'.
Choose the option to 'Use another device' and select 'OK.
Make sure you have your device ready, and select 'iPhone, iPad, or Android device' and 'Next'.
Use your device to scan the QR code you see on screen.
When you've scanned the QR code, you'll see a message on screen that your device has been connected.
You'll now need to follow the prompts on your device's screen to save the passkey.
When you have saved the passkey, you'll see a confirmation message in your browser.
Select 'OK', and you'll see a final confirmation message.
You'll now be able to log in with the passkey. If you return to your user profile screen, you'll now see the passkey in your list of authenticators.
