You can download Arrow on your Wear OS watch and use passkeys saved in Arrow to log in to other apps. Before using passkeys on your watch, you'll need to set up your Arrow account on another device, like your computer or phone.
At this time, you can only use passkeys and not passwords with Arrow on Wear OS. If you don’t have passkeys saved in Arrow, you won’t be able to log in using Arrow on your watch. You also won't be able to create and save new passkeys on your watch.
Not all apps currently use passkeys to let you log in on Wear OS. If you're having trouble logging in to an app with a passkey saved in Arrow, check the support website for the app to see if they offer passkey login on Wear OS.
Arrow Free users can download the Arrow app on a Wear OS watch. But only customers with a paid Arrow plan will be able to log in to our app or use passkeys stored in Arrow on their watch.
