Whether you want to replace your password completely or simply strengthen your account security, PollUnit now gives you both options.\u003c/i\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Passkeys?\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nPasskeys are a modern authentication method based on the WebAuthn standard. Instead of remembering a password, you authenticate using your device – typically with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, Android biometrics, or your device PIN.\r\n\r\nBehind the scenes, a cryptographic key pair is created. The public key is stored by PollUnit, while the private key remains securely protected in your Passkey provider. During sign-in, the private key is never sent to PollUnit, making Passkeys highly resistant to phishing attacks and password theft.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Use Passkeys?\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nPasskeys offer several advantages over traditional passwords:\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFaster sign-in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or your device PIN\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eProtection against phishing attacks\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNo passwords to remember or reuse\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNo shared secrets stored on servers\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eStrong cryptographic authentication\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSupport across modern browsers and operating systems\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\u003c/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Ways to Use Passkeys in PollUnit\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nUnlike many services, PollUnit lets you decide how you want to use Passkeys.\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasswordless Login\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\r\n\r\nYou can sign in using only your Passkey. No password is required.\r\n\r\nThis provides the fastest and most convenient login experience while improving security at the same time.\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasskeys as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\r\n\r\nIf you prefer to continue using your password, you can use a Passkey as your second authentication factor.\r\n\r\nThis combines the familiarity of password-based authentication with the strong phishing protection offered by Passkeys.\r\n\r\nWhether you're ready to go completely passwordless or want to introduce Passkeys gradually, PollUnit supports both approaches.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWorks with SSO and Social Login\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nPasskey-based two-factor authentication isn't limited to PollUnit passwords.\r\n\r\nIf your organization uses its own Single Sign-On (SSO) solution, you can still protect your PollUnit account with a Passkey as a second authentication factor. 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"}
{"id":237,"title":"Archive Instead of Delete: A Better Way to Manage Options","description":"New in PollUnit: Archive options without losing data.

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. Their votes are ignored, while all data remains available and can be restored at any time.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Archive Options?\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nDeleting an option permanently removes it from your workflow. Archiving allows you to hide options from the current ranking without losing submissions, files, comments, or voting history.\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier to manage large polls, contests, and long-running voting processes.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Photo Contests\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nA common use case is a \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/photo-contest\"\u003ephoto contest\u003c/a\u003e with many submissions.\r\n\r\nImagine a contest with 500 photos. After reviewing the results, you decide that only the best 200 photos should continue to the next phase.\r\n\r\nInstead of deleting the remaining photos, simply archive them. The contest becomes much easier to manage, while all submissions remain available for later review.\r\n\r\nBecause archived options no longer influence rankings, organizers can gradually reduce the number of active entries and focus attention on the strongest candidates.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Flexible Than Starting Over\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nSome organizers want to conduct voting in multiple rounds. Until now, this often required creating a new PollUnit or resetting votes, which means losing the previous voting results.\r\n\r\nArchiving offers a practical alternative. Instead of starting over, you can simply archive the options that should no longer participate and continue working with the remaining entries.\r\n\r\nThis preserves all submissions and allows you to narrow down the field without deleting data.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Use Cases\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFeature request and product roadmap voting\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEmployee idea management\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAward competitions and jury selections\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLogo, design, and naming contests\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEvent and meeting planning\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCommunity suggestion platforms\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eProject prioritization and decision making\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCandidate shortlisting and application reviews\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBulk Archive and Restore\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\r\n\r\nManaging large numbers of options is easy.\r\n\r\nOptions can be archived directly from their context menu or from the evaluation area.\r\n\r\nThe evaluation area now includes multi-select functionality with bulk actions, allowing you to archive or restore multiple options at once.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep Your Data, Reduce Complexity\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nArchiving is a simple but powerful addition to PollUnit.

If the name requirement is disabled, voters can simply participate without providing a name.

With the new admin role, you can now assign selected members as organization admins.\r\nOrganization admins can invite new members to the organization and help manage the team structure. This makes it much easier to manage larger teams and distribute responsibilities.\r\n\r\nThis small change can make a big difference for teams that use PollUnit regularly. Especially if you manage multiple organizations as an owner, each with its own members and admins.","created_at":"2026-03-06T10:52:27.021Z","updated_at":"2026-03-06T12:04:07.476Z","url":"https://pollunit.com/en/posts/199/admin-role"}

{"id":198,"title":"Update: Descriptions in polls and surveys","description":"Use option descriptions in PollUnit to create clearer polls and surveys, improve decision-making, and get more reliable results.","post_text":"Polls are most effective when all participants clearly understand what they are voting on. Unclear questions or ambiguous answer options can quickly lead to distorted results. For this reason, PollUnit has long offered the ability to add descriptions to individual \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/voting\"\u003epoll\u003c/a\u003e options. These descriptions help provide additional context without unnecessarily cluttering the poll itself.\r\n\r\nWhen creating a \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/survey\"\u003esurvey\u003c/a\u003e with PollUnit, you also have the option to add a rating step. A rating step essentially works like an independent poll within a survey, allowing multiple separate polls to be chained together in a meaningful way. Here too, it is possible to add descriptions to each option. These descriptions can be displayed in a separate overlay, providing additional details when needed without interrupting the voting flow.\r\n\r\nWhen running image-based polls, whether as a standalone poll or as part of a survey, option descriptions add even more value. In PollUnit, these descriptions are also displayed directly within the image swipebox, allowing participants to view additional information while browsing through the images. This ensures that visual polls remain intuitive while still providing enough context to make well-informed decisions.","created_at":"2026-01-21T19:30:51.662Z","updated_at":"2026-02-04T22:14:14.769Z","url":"https://pollunit.com/en/posts/198/descriptions"}
