Passkeys are available to sign into your Ramsey account across all our products, including EveryDollar, Ask Ramsey, Financial Peace University, and more.
What is a passkey?
A passkey is a faster, safer, and easier way to sign in—without having to remember another password. With a passkey, you can sign-in with something you already use every day, like:
- Facial recognition
- A fingerprint
- Your device PIN or lock screen
- Your password manager (like iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, etc.)
Behind the scenes, passkeys use advanced encryption and are tied directly to you and your device. Ramsey Solutions never sees or stores your passkey information—we’re simply notified that your device approved the sign-in. That means no passwords to remember and nothing for hackers to steal.
Why are passkeys better than passwords?
Passkeys have stronger security
- Passkeys can’t be guessed, reused, or stolen in a data breach.
- They protect you from phishing scams and fake login pages.
- Your private credentials never leave your device.
Passkeys make signing in faster
- No typing long passwords.
- No password resets.
- Just approve the sign-in, and you’re done.
Passkeys are one less thing to remember
- One less account password in your life.
- They work with the devices and tools you already use.
Passkeys keep your biometric data private
- Your fingerprint, face, or device PIN never leaves your device.
- Ramsey Solutions never sees or stores your biometric information—we’re simply notified that your device approved the sign-in.
How passkeys work at Ramsey Solutions
New Accounts
When you create a new Ramsey account, you’ll be asked to set up a passkey. But you can still use a password if you’d prefer.
Existing Accounts
If you already have a Ramsey account, we’ll ask if you want to create a passkey the next time you sign in. If you’re not ready yet, you can snooze the reminder and continue using your password.
How do I set up a passkey?
Setting up a passkey is quick and easy:
- Create or sign in to your Ramsey account.
- When prompted, choose “Create a Passkey”.
- Approve the setup using your device (facial recognition, fingerprint, PIN, etc.)
That’s it—you’re all set
Your passkey can be saved to your password manager or device, and depending on your settings, are available across all your devices.
How do I sign in with my passkey?
Once you’ve created a passkey:
- Enter your email address or choose “Continue With a Passkey”.
- Approve the sign-in on your device.
How do I sign in on a new device?
If you’re signing in on a new device that doesn’t already have your passkey:
- Select “Continue With a Passkey”.
- You will be prompted to use the device you created the passkey on—sometimes by scanning a QR code. Follow the instructions.
You can then either:
-Follow the prompts to create a new passkey on the new device.
OR
-Continue without creating a new passkey if the second device is for public use.
- DO NOT create a passkey on a public device.
How do I manage or remove my passkey?
Right now, passkeys are managed directly through your device or password manager—not inside your Ramsey account.
If you want to remove a passkey, you can do so by:
Deleting it from your device settings.
OR
- Removing it from your password manager.
What if I lose my device?
If you get a new device, your passkeys can come with you. Most passkeys are securely backed up and synced through your password manager or device cloud, (like Apple or Google).
If you can’t access your passkey, you can set up a password by clicking on the “Need help signing in?” link on the sign-in page. You’ll be guided through creating a password using your email so that you can access your Ramsey products.
What if my passkey doesn’t work?
If your passkey isn’t available on a device or your browser doesn’t support passkeys yet, you can set up a password by clicking on the “Need help signing in?” link on the sign-in page. You’ll be guided through creating a password using your email so that you can access your Ramsey products.
Do I still need a password?
No – you will no longer need a password, but a password is still available as an option.
How do passkeys work in conjunction with multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
If you have MFA set up on your Ramsey account and you create a passkey, MFA will still operate as it does today. You will still be prompted to provide a one-time password after signing in with your passkey.
Can I trust passkeys?
Passkeys are a modern security standard used by companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and PayPal. We’re adopting them because they’re proven, trusted, and built to protect you.
