You can allow others to access your Picnic account by sharing your passkey. This process is done through your device's password manager, not the Picnic app.
How It Works
Logging into Picnic uses passkeys protected by your device's biometrics. Since these keys are stored in your iCloud or Google, you can send them to trusted people.
Upon receiving the key, the other person will use their own biometrics (Face ID or fingerprint) on their device to access your account and authorize transactions.
Step-by-Step on iPhone (iCloud)
Open your iPhone's Settings.
Tap on Passwords.
Find the Picnic passkey in the list.
Tap the Share icon.
Send via AirDrop to the other person's device.
Step-by-Step on Android (Google)
Open your Android's Settings.
Go to Google and select Password Manager.
Find the Picnic passkey.
Use the Sharing option available in the system.
Points to Consider
Security: Share only with people you trust completely. The key allows free movement of funds.
Independence: You don't need to register someone else's fingerprint on your phone; each person uses their own device.
Revocation: You can remove access at any time by deleting the key from the other person's manager.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share a key between iPhone and Android? Sharing generally works between devices of the same system. To share between different systems, you can use third-party managers like 1Password or Bitwarden.
What happens if I delete the key on my phone? The person you shared with will still have access unless you also remove the key from their device or revoke access through the password manager.
Can Picnic recover my key if I lose it? No. For security reasons, keys are encrypted and stored only in your password manager. Picnic does not have a copy of these keys.
