🔐 Sign in without a password

Nanikado uses passkeys: no account form, no password — your device handles signing in for you.

No password, no form

The first time you play, your device creates a passkey — confirmed with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or your device PIN. That's all there is to it.

Nothing to remember, nothing to steal

Passkeys are phishing-resistant and never leave your device. There's no password anyone could guess or grab.

On all your devices

Via the iCloud Keychain or the Google Password Manager your passkey travels automatically to your other devices.

Look after it well

Honestly: your character is tied to your passkey. If it's lost and wasn't synced, your character is gone too. So it's best to leave device syncing on.

What even is a passkey?

A digital key your device keeps safe, letting you sign in with Face ID, fingerprint or PIN — just like unlocking your phone, only for Nanikado.

New phone — is my character gone?

No, as long as syncing is on: the iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager carry your passkey to the new device. Just log in and keep playing.

And if I lose my only device?

There's a safety net for that: store your email address in the game — then you can request a recovery link on demand and simply set a new passkey for your character. Without a stored email, only device syncing can help.
