Greetings,

I’ve created a new II in the new website [https://identity.internetcomputer.org/](https://identity.internetcomputer.org/)

However, this new II does not work with any dapp, it only works with the NNS new website.

Will this new II eventually work? is it safe?

Identities are by default limited to the domain, most dapps use [https://identity.ic0.app](https://identity.ic0.app).

You can make the identity available at this other domain by using adding a passkey:

- Go to [https://identity.internetcomputer.org](https://identity.internetcomputer.org)
- Login and click “Add passkey”
- Copy the url below the passcode
- Change the domain in this url to [https://identity.ic0.app](https://identity.ic0.app) and navigate to it.
- Follow instructions

You can alternatively use the recovery phrase from [https://identity.internetcomputer.org](https://identity.internetcomputer.org) on [https://identity.ic0.app](https://identity.ic0.app) which has the same result.

Some dapps like Juno have a link to authenticate with the older II domain ([https://identity.ic0.app](https://identity.ic0.app)). Most dapps only use the older II domain.

Step 1… Go to: [https://identity.internetcomputer.org](https://identity.internetcomputer.org)  
Step 2… Login and click “Add passkey”.

How do you log in? when you’re trying to add a passkey in the first place so that you can login?

These steps were specifically for users that had an identity with a passkey registered at [https://identity.internetcomputer.org](https://identity.internetcomputer.org) that wasn’t accessible from [https://identity.ic0.app](https://identity.ic0.app).

If the domains are different in your case, you’ll need to follow these steps with the domains that apply to you case.

Hi!

We are working on a new feature to address precisely this issue.

We would appreciate some early community feedback.

The new feature will make this work seamlessly without any user interaction.

To enable the feature:

1. Open the dev tools
2. Paste the following in the console: `__featureFlags.DOMAIN_COMPATIBILITY.set(true);`
3. Refresh
4. Try logging in

@ORCA I would appreciate it if you could try it and change the SOLUTION to the thread to use the new feature if you think this solves the problem in a nicer way.

Thanks!
