Revolutionizing Passkey Integration and User Experience
The Passkey Journey provides a simple and quick code snippet to be added to websites. By using this code, it checks whether the visitors’ web browsers and devices can use passkeys. Once it does that, it gives an instant report that displays how many people can use various passkeys. These passkeys could use fingerprints or special security keys. The report also includes clickable paths that show what users might go through. To top it off, the report suggests making passkeys even better and ensuring they function for more people.
As a valuable tool for website teams, the Passkey Journey offers assistance. It informs them whether people can utilize passkeys and if their devices can handle them. With the help of this tool, teams can create passkeys that work effectively for users. Plus, they can seamlessly and confidently integrate these passkeys into their websites.
