Are your users ready for passwords?
Passkey Ready will check if your users can support passkeys on both the device and the browser, and once you have collected information on 100 users, the tool will generate a detailed report on whether your users are ready to start adopting passkeys.
The report provides insights into the percentage of users who are prepared to use a passcode, how that preparedness changes over time, how that preparedness compares across browsers and devices, and how that preparedness changes by geographic location.
This information can be used to determine whether users are ready to adopt passcodes or whether it's better to wait until more browsers and devices implement passcode support. The tool can help make your website or app more secure against cyber threats and phishing, while making it easier to log in without typing passwords.
Passcodes work by using your phone or other device to authenticate your identity, using biometric verification or a PIN number. They are especially resistant to phishing attacks because the attacker cannot authenticate a login, and passcodes are typically unique to their main website, meaning that using a passcode on a malicious website will not work.
