Increase the security of your myGov account with a passkey

Published: 28 April 2025

Passkeys are a secure way to sign in to your myGov account. They’re more secure and scam resistant than passwords.

Scammers can trick you into giving out your personal information like your myGov sign in details.

A passkey can help keep your myGov account secure because you don’t use a password to sign in.

Passkeys can’t be guessed or stolen, and they won’t work on fake myGov websites.

Using a passkey and turning off your myGov password as a sign in option makes it harder for scammers to access accounts using stolen usernames and passwords.
