1. What is imKey Pass S6?
imKey Pass S6 is a fingerprint-enabled security key (hardware passkey) based on the FIDO2 standard. Its core features include:
- Fingerprint + PIN dual-factor, supporting passwordless login / strong two-factor authentication
- Supports FIDO2 / FIDO U2F protocols — works with Google, GitHub, Amazon, OKX, and other websites that support passkeys or security keys.
- USB-C interface, compatible with mainstream systems like Windows / macOS and modern browsers.
- Built-in fingerprint sensor for local identity verification with a simple touch.
In simple terms:
imKey Pass S6 is your physical passkey —using your fingerprint instead of passwords. One device unlocks many accounts and also serves as a secure identity entry point for Web3.
At the same time, imKey Pass S6 can create Web3 accounts and be used together with imToken Web (https://web.token.im/).

3. First-Time Setup: Add a imKey Pass to Google Account
(This process also initializes your PIN and fingerprint.)
Step 1: Log in to Your Google Account and Open Security Settings
- Open any Google page in your computer browser.
- Sign in with your existing login method.
- Click your avatar in the upper-right corner → select “Manage Your Google Account”.
- In the left-hand menu, go to the “Security and Login” section.
Step 2: Go to the “Passkeys and Security Keys” Management Page
- In “Ways to sign in to Google” (or similar), find “Access key and security”.
- Click “Access key and security” to open the settings page.
Step 3: Add a New Passkey / Security Key
- Click “Create a passkey”.
- Your browser will pop up a system security dialog. Click “Replacement equipment” .
Step 4: Plug in imKey Pass S6 and Follow the Prompts
- Insert imKey Pass into the USB-C port of your computer.
- If you are using an adapter, plug in the adapter first, then insert imKey Pass.
- Wait for the system to recognize the device. Your browser will automatically display a FIDO security key setup window.
- If this is your first time using imKey Pass, the system will ask you to:
- Set or enter a PIN
- Then add fingerprint authentication (some systems guide fingerprint enrollment afterward)
Step 5: Set the PIN Code for imKey Pass (First-Time Only)
- In the system popup window, enter the PIN code you want to set for imKey Pass:
- It is recommended to use at least 6 digits, and avoid weak PINs like your birthday or phone number.
- Re-enter the PIN to confirm and complete the setup.
Once the PIN is set, when you use imKey Pass on a new device in the future, you may be asked to enter the PIN first and then verify your fingerprint.
Step 6: Add Fingerprints and Complete Passkey Binding
- After the PIN is verified, the page will prompt you to touch the fingerprint sensor on your security key to add a fingerprint.
- Lightly touch the round fingerprint area on imKey Pass with the finger you want to enroll to complete identity verification.
Explanation:
In the process above, adding a passkey in Google actually equals:
- Completing the first-time initialization of imKey Pass, and
- Binding this key as a passkey in your Google account.
After this, you will see a new entry in the “Passkeys & security keys” list.
