Impact of User-Agent Reduction and Client Hints for Passkeys in Modern Browsers
Web browsers are cutting back on the information they share, and it’s changing how developers detect devices. This shift, known as User-Agent reduction, limits the data available from User-Agent strings to protect user privacy. But Client Hints step in to help. These new APIs allow developers to request specific information when needed, balancing privacy with functionality. Curious how these changes impact your work, especially in passkey authentication? Read the details and see how to adapt.
How to use the Web Bluetooth API for better Passkey Experience
Curious about how the Web Bluetooth API can enhance passkey authentication? This article analyzes the Web Bluetooth API's role in facilitating Cross-Device Authentication (CDA) via Bluetooth. You'll learn how the API enables seamless device communication and why detecting Bluetooth availability is crucial for a smooth user experience. But, is this technology ready for widespread adoption, or are there limitations you need to know about? Discover the insights and the potential pitfalls - because understanding these could make or break your passkey implementation strategy.
iOS 18 Takes Passkeys to the Next Level: Here’s What You Need to Know
