How to Manage imKey Pass S6

Why isn’t there a dedicated “Management App”?

imKey Pass S6 is built on the FIDO standard. All core management features are already provided natively by mainstream browsers such as Chrome—covering essentials like PIN, credentials (passkeys), and fingerprints. To keep the experience simple and consistent, we follow the standard ecosystem instead of offering a separate vendor-specific management app or backend.

Below is how to use each of these with imKey Pass S6.

Steps:

• If it’s your first time, you’ll go straight to creating a new PIN.

   • Avoid weak PINs (birthday, phone number, 111111, etc.)
4. Re-enter to confirm, then click Confirm to finish.

After reset, you’ll need to:

• Follow the Getting Started guide to set up a new PIN and fingerprints
• Re-add this device as a passkey/security key on services like Google, GitHub, OKX, etc.

Usage & Security Tips

• Check “Sign-in data” periodically: Review the list occasionally to ensure there are no unfamiliar or suspicious websites.
• Be cautious with reset: Before resetting, make sure your important accounts still have other login methods (password, backup device, recovery email, etc.) to avoid getting locked out.
• Use a backup device: For critical accounts (email, exchanges, Web3 entry points), we strongly recommend having a backup imKey Pass and storing the primary and backup separately to reduce the risk from loss or damage.
