Profile menu in Dext opened, with the User settings option highlighted.

Set up passkeys

Passkeys let you log in using biometrics, a PIN, or a hardware security key instead of a password.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

You can enable:

You have unique Extract by Email addresses for each business you're part of. These allow documents to be sent directly to Costs or Sales.

From here, you can:
