Should Your App Adopt Passkeys?

Short summary

Passkeys offer phishing resistance and strong device-bound credentials, but adoption depends more on UX and recovery flows than cryptographic strength. This guide provides a readiness framework covering threat models, cross-device sync, registration friction, and support implications—helping you decide when (and for which users) to deploy them. Present to leadership with specific risk reduction balanced against engineering and support costs, not just security benefits.

• •Passkeys eliminate phishing and credential-stuffing but not session-token or malware attacks
• •Cross-device sync and recovery flows are the adoption friction points, not the cryptography
• •Present to leadership with specific risk reduction and engineering cost, not just 'more secure'
