Backing up your data in Libby
The best way to back up your Libby data is to create a passkey. Passkeys let you securely store your Libby data in your device's password manager. Unlike passwords, passkeys use your existing device PIN or biometrics (like Face ID or your fingerprint) to verify who you are. Note that Libby does not get access to your biometric information or device PIN.
Passkeys can be created in Libby on Android 9+, iOS 17+, and some desktop computers. Libby passkeys update automatically, and you can use the same passkey on multiple devices. Most of the time, you'll never need to repeat these steps or create additional passkeys.
To create a passkey in Libby:
- Open the Menu.
- Under "Your Information," tap Back Up Your Data.
- Tap Create Recovery Passkey.Note: If your device doesn't support passkeys, you won't see this option.
- Follow the prompts to use Face ID, a fingerprint, PIN, or another method to create the passkey.
- Tap Done.
If you ever need to reset the app or install Libby on another device, you can use this passkey to recover your data.
