What is a Keyek Card?

Keyek Card is a secure multipurpose identity terminal, purpose built to protect and verify digital identity online. Keyek Card (in concert with the Keyek Platform) provides User Verification with every authentication request, via a ‘back-to-base’ PIN validation process, harnessing the same technology used by banks to verify and secure ATM and EFTPOS transactions, repurposed as an identity layer for the internet.

Keyek Card can be used for authenticating users across devices, applications, and physical access points, while also consolidating multiple disparate identities into a single VeroID. Users can easily access systems with minimal friction by entering a PIN on their Keyek Card, enabling a passwordless, phish-resistant experience for Next-Generation Multi-Factor Authentication.

Once your IT administrator has configured your PC and your account for Keyek login, your login process will shift from entering a password on your device's keyboard to entering a PIN on your Keyek Card. This eliminates passwords from the authentication process, ensuring that access is only granted with the correct combination of your Keyek Card and secret PIN.

Before you can do this, you must Activate your Keyek Card.

What is Activation?

Activation is the process used to link your Keyek Card to your VeroID and PIN. During this process, the Keyek Card connects to the Keyek Platform to validate its configuration and permissions before prompting you to Set your PIN.

First-time Keyek Card Setup

  1. Installing Keyek Clients: Keyek's secure communications interface between Keyek Cards and user devices.

  2. Activating your Keyek Card: Setting your secret PIN and linking your identity to the Keyek Card. 

The version of Keyek Client and the required activation steps will vary depending on how and where you will be using your Keyek Card.
