Grok Bot now lets you approve purchases with a passkey
Grok Bot can now ask for a passkey before it buys something for you. On Nov 3, 2026, Alex Michael, who follows Grok Bot preview builds, posted on X: “Passkeys are live in Grok Bot. Approve purchases using your passkey before your money is spent anywhere.” We've confirmed the passkey option in the Grok Bot app and added a passkey ourselves. There's no official announcement yet.
- What it does: Before Grok Bot spends your money, you approve the purchase with your fingerprint or face, using a passkey saved on your device. 1
- How to set it up: A screenshot in the post shows a Passkeys screen with an Add Passkey button. It says a passkey approves purchases on the device you add it on. 2
- Removing one: The same screen says removing a passkey doesn't delete it from your device, but it can no longer approve purchases. 2
- Help pages: Grok Bot's help pages don't mention it yet. They still say a card saved in Vault fills in at checkout without a separate approval each time. 3
Not confirmed yet. Which plans and devices get it, whether a passkey is optional or will be required, and whether it covers every way Grok Bot pays, including cards saved in Vault and wallets like Link or X Money. The official Grok Bot changelog (latest v0.78.1, Oct 27, 2026) had no passkeys entry when we checked. 4
Add a passkey on the device you approve purchases from, then try one small purchase to see the approval step.
