imKey Pass S6 Compatibility Quick Reference Guide

This guide is designed to help you quickly understand the compatibility of imKey Pass S6 across various operating systems and browsers.

The imKey Pass S6 is a hardware security device connected via a USB-C interface. Built on FIDO / WebAuthn standards, it offers a more secure login experience than traditional passwords. It handles both Passkeys and traditional Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with ease.

Core Concepts at a Glance

To simplify your experience, here is a brief overview:

• Passkey: The current mainstream and simplest login method, often allowing for direct login without a password.
• WebAuthn / FIDO Credentials: These are broader technical terms that include both Passkeys and security credentials used for 2FA.

For users, you only need to remember one thing: The imKey Pass S6 securely stores and manages these credentials, whether you are performing a passwordless login or adding an extra layer of security to your account.

Operating System and Browser Support

The imKey Pass S6 utilizes a wired USB-C connection. For the best experience, we recommend using the combinations listed below:

Friendly Reminder: 

Since the imKey Pass S6 does not support NFC, please ensure your mobile device has a USB-C port or use a compatible adapter (such as a Lightning to USB camera adapter) for connection.

Common Usage Scenarios

The imKey Pass S6 is primarily used in three scenarios, all of which offer a highly intuitive experience.

1. Complete Password Elimination (Passkey Login) This is the most convenient method. You do not need to enter a username or a password.

• Action: Insert the imKey Pass S6 and verify (enter PIN or scan fingerprint). The system automatically identifies you and completes the login.
• Applicable to: Websites and apps that support Passkeys.

2. Passwordless Verification You select or enter your account name first, but you do not need to enter a password. Instead, verification is completed via the imKey Pass S6.

• Action: Enter Username → Website requests verification → Insert device and verify fingerprint or PIN.

3. Dual Security Protection (2FA / Second Factor Authentication) This is the traditional security enhancement mode.

• Action: Enter Username and Password → Website requests secondary verification → Insert imKey Pass S6 to confirm.
• Value: Even if hackers steal your password, they cannot log into your account without your hardware device.

Platform-Specific Feature Support

If you want to know the support status for specific hardware management functions (such as enrolling fingerprints or setting a PIN) on each platform, please refer to the table below:

Additional Notes: 

• Whether PIN setup or fingerprint management is supported depends on whether the operating system and browser expose the hardware management interface.
• Even if a specific platform does not support settings (like adding a fingerprint), it does not affect normal usage (login/verification) if the device has already been initialized elsewhere.
