The same applies when signing in with Google, Facebook, or GitHub.\r\n\r\nThis gives you an additional layer of phishing-resistant security regardless of how you authenticate with PollUnit.\r\n\r\nEven if your identity provider doesn't support Passkeys yet, you can still benefit from Passkey-based protection inside PollUnit. This allows organizations to improve account security immediately without changing their existing authentication infrastructure.","created_at":"2026-06-24T23:10:17.703Z","updated_at":"2026-07-01T11:28:41.550Z","url":"https://pollunit.com/en/posts/238/passkeys-and-2fa"}

With archiving, there is now a third option.\u003c/i\u003e\r\n\r\nArchived options remain part of the PollUnit, but they are excluded from rankings and evaluations.
