ExpressVPN has added passkey sign-in, giving users a way to get into their account without typing anything at all. Instead of a password, you sign in using the screen lock already on your device, such as a fingerprint or face scan. That means nothing extra to remember and nothing to key in each time.

The change was announced on Tuesday (July 21) and is part of a wider redesign of the ExpressVPN+ dashboard, which the company is turning into a single home for your entire subscription.

ExpressVPN: Starting from $2.49 per month ExpressVPN is the easiest VPN to use on our list, making it a great option for anyone slightly less
tech-savvy. Its also one of the most secure VPN weve tested, with good features to keep you safe online. Subscriptions start at $2.49 per month on the two-year plan, which puts it on a par with NordVPN. As with most VPNs, theres a 30-day money-back guarantee .

The redesigned dashboard sits behind that login. Rather than hopping between separate apps and account pages, you get one view of what is protecting you, which products you have set up, and anything that needs attention.

Depending on your ExpressVPN plans and regions, ExpressVPN says it can pull
in insights from tools like ExpressKeys and Identity Defender , and you can also buy and manage holiday.com travel eSIMs from the same place. How
passkeys work, and why they are safer A passkey swaps your password for a
pair of cryptographic keys. The public key lives on the service's server
while the private key stays locked on your device, and no shared secret ever travels across the network for an attacker to intercept.

That design is what makes passkeys resistant to phishing : there is no password to trick you out of, and the credential only works on the genuine ExpressVPN sign-in page.

It is an approach Apple, Google, and Microsoft have all backed, and one ExpressVPN has already brought to its ExpressKeys password manager.

To enable one, sign in to your ExpressVPN account , select your profile in
the top-right corner, choose Account & Billing , and follow the prompts to
add a passkey .

If you use ExpressKeys, you can save the passkey there alongside your other logins. And if you would rather stick with what you know, your password will keep working as another way in.
