Set up and use passkeys
Passkeys replace passwords with a safer, faster way to sign in to your Noveu account. No more passwords to remember, better protected against phishing, just your device and you.
What are passkeys?
Passkeys are a passwordless sign-in method based on the open FIDO2/WebAuthn standard. Your device (laptop, phone or hardware key) stores a private key that never leaves your device. When you sign in, you prove that you have the key via Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello or a PIN. No password and no SMS code.
For your Noveu account this means: faster sign-in and no reused passwords. A fake site cannot use your passkey.
How do you set up a passkey?
Sign in to your Noveu account
Go to login.noveu.eu and sign in with your email address and password. You land on the account dashboard.
Open Security settings (Beveiliging)
Click your profile in the menu and choose Security. Here you manage your sign-in methods and recovery tokens.
Click "Add passkey" (Passkey toevoegen)
Your device asks for confirmation via Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello or a hardware key (such as YubiKey).
Give your passkey a recognisable name
For example "MacBook work" or "iPhone personal". That way you later recognise which passkey belongs to which device.
Save your recovery codes
Right after setup you receive one-time recovery codes. Keep them offline or in a password manager; without these codes you can no longer sign in if you lose all your passkeys.
What if I lose my device?
Don't panic. When you set up your first passkey, you received recovery codes: one-time codes that give you access to your account if you can no longer use a passkey.
Go to login.noveu.eu/security/recovery-codes to use a recovery code. Then you can remove the lost passkey and set up a new one on a replacement device.
No recovery codes left? Contact support via a support ticket.

Tips for storing your passkeys safely
- Set up passkeys on at least two devices (for example your laptop and your phone) so that you are never locked out.
- Use a hardware key (YubiKey, SoloKey) as an extra backup for business accounts.
- Keep your recovery codes offline in a safe place (safe, paper backup, encrypted USB).
- Remove passkeys from devices you no longer use, for example an old phone or a laptop you have sold.
- Never share your recovery codes by email, chat or phone.
