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 (version 7.0 or higher) on Android 9+, iOS 17+, and some desktop computers.
To create a passkey in Libby:
- Make sure you're using the latest version of Libby by checking your device's app store.
- 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.
