Questions from passkey integration projects
See what others have asked about integrating passkeys:
#19: Can we identify how many users actually use passkeys after creating them?
Yes, it’s valuable to track not only how many users create passkeys but also how often they actually use them for subsequent logins. Understanding this usage frequency helps optimize prompts and communication strategies to improve ongoing adoption.
Digital Credentials vs Passkeys: Friends or Rivals?
Passkeys and Digital Credentials might sound similar, but they’re built for very different missions. Passkeys are the rockstars of login, making passwords and even phishing obsolete. Digital Credentials, on the other hand, shine when you need to prove something specific about yourself - like your age or qualifications - with cryptographic certainty. Both use cutting-edge cryptography and secure hardware to keep your data safe, but they serve distinct roles in securing our digital identities. Curious how these technologies will transform your digital life and maybe even end passwords forever?
Apple’s new API makes passwords history
Apple is pushing us even closer to a password-free future with the new Passkey Account Creation API in iOS 26. Instead of filling out tedious forms, users can now sign up instantly with a tap and Face ID or Touch ID - no passwords needed! The API automatically grabs your name and email from your device, creates a secure passkey and syncs it across your Apple devices via iCloud Keychain. It’s not just faster. It’s safer, offering built-in protection against phishing right from the start. But how exactly does this work behind the scenes and what happens if something goes wrong during sign-up?
