How to assess device landscape for passkey-readiness?

Assessing the device landscape ensures that passkeys can be widely adopted by your users. Here’s how to do it:

1. Collect Data:

   • Identify the devices, operating systems, and browsers your users employ.
   • For web users, examine both desktop and mobile OS distributions (e.g., iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) and specific versions.

2. Analyze WebView Usage: For apps relying on WebViews, determine whether passkey operations are supported (e.g., WKWebView for iOS, Android WebView).

3. Address Variability:

   • Consider regional and demographic differences affecting the device distribution.
   • Supplement unavailable data with global statistics from sources like StatCounter.

4. Assess Readiness: Use State of Passkeys to check passkey readiness percentages, ensuring data accuracy and user adoption insights.

A comprehensive analysis of the device landscape ensures seamless passkey implementation and high compatibility with your user base.

About Corbado

Corbado is the Passkey Intelligence Platform for CIAM teams running consumer authentication at scale. We help you see what IDP logs and generic analytics tools can't: which devices, OS versions, browsers and credential managers support passkeys, why enrollments don't turn into logins, where the WebAuthn flow fails and when an OS / browser update silently breaks login, all without replacing Okta, Auth0, Ping, Cognito or your in-house IDP. Two products: Corbado Observe layers observability for passkeys and any other login method. Corbado Connect adds managed passkeys with analytics built in (alongside your IDP). VicRoads runs passkeys for 5M+ users with Corbado (+80% passkey activation). Talk to a Passkey Expert →
