Hey HN,
Over the past 12 months, we analyzed the passkey readiness / adoption of real life devices and users with a Free Passkey Analyzer tool. Now, we want to share with you the results we gathered to bring some facts to the table, as there have been many heated discussions about passkeys here on HN.
- ~99% of devices support WebAuthn and the majority is also passkey-ready (platform authenticator support)
- Almost all mobile devices use synced passkeys, while most desktop devices (especially Windows) still rely on non-synced passkeys
- Compared to 2022, strong adoption of platform auth and condititional UI
- Passkey-support depends a lot operating system and browser combination (see details in the blog post
This data also backs PayPal's recent global passkey rollout (start with mobile devices + only use synced passkeys for best UX and highest passkey readiness).
What do you think: how this data is going to change in the next 12 months?
