# Which login best practices achieve +50% passkey usage?

## Which best practices for passkey logins help enterprises achieve over 50% passkey usage in everyday sign-ins?

Enterprises can achieve over 50%
[daily passkey usage](https://www.corbado.com/faq/passkey-migration-failure-without-high-daily-usage) by
following proven **best practices for passkey logins**, focusing on reducing user
friction, providing clear incentives, and ensuring robust
[fallback management](https://www.corbado.com/faq/fallback-management-user-trust-passkey-retention):

### 1. Automatic Identifier-First Logins

- Automatically trigger passkey prompts after users enter identifiers (like email or
  username), significantly reducing
  [login friction](https://www.corbado.com/blog/login-friction-kills-conversion).
- Ensure intelligent detection of [passkey availability](https://www.corbado.com/faq/are-passkeys-available) to
  avoid unnecessary prompts, using advanced tools like Corbado’s
  [Passkey Intelligence](https://docs.corbado.com/corbado-connect/features/passkey-intelligence)
  Engine.

### 2. One-Tap Passkey Buttons

- Implement [One-Tap](https://docs.corbado.com/corbado-connect/features/one-tap-login)
  passkey buttons to simplify login to a single click or tap followed by quick biometric
  verification.
- This method dramatically increases daily passkey use by simplifying and accelerating
  authentication, fostering strong user habits.

### 3. Strategic User Nudges and Reminders

- Regularly remind users of passkey advantages (speed, security, ease-of-use) through
  targeted messaging within the login UI.
- Offer clear, timely prompts encouraging passkey setup for users who haven’t yet adopted
  passkeys.

### 4. Robust and User-Friendly Fallback Management

- Ensure fallback processes (like SMS OTP or email verification) are seamless,
  transparent, and clearly communicated, maintaining
  [user trust](https://www.corbado.com/faq/fallback-management-user-trust-passkey-retention) even if passkeys
  temporarily fail.
- Gradually nudge users back toward passkey usage after fallback events.

### 5. Continuous UX Optimization

- Regularly analyze user behavior and optimize login flows to reduce friction points.
- Leverage user feedback to iteratively enhance the
  [passkey login](https://www.corbado.com/blog/passkey-login-best-practices) experience, ensuring sustained
  adoption and usage growth.

### 6. Effective User Education

- Clearly communicate the benefits of passkeys, emphasizing security and convenience, to
  build user confidence.
- Provide accessible resources, such as FAQs and tutorials, to guide users through common
  passkey scenarios.

## Proven Outcomes

- Enterprises applying these practices frequently achieve
  [passkey login](https://www.corbado.com/blog/passkey-login-best-practices) rates exceeding 50%, often reaching
  80% or higher within months of deployment.
- Effective implementations lead to significantly reduced operational costs associated
  with legacy authentication methods (e.g., SMS OTP), as well as stronger overall
  security.

## Summary

Applying these best practices - automatic login triggers, simplified
[One-Tap](https://docs.corbado.com/corbado-connect/features/one-tap-login) interactions,
effective fallback strategies, strategic nudging, ongoing UX refinements, and proactive
user education - enables enterprises to consistently achieve and exceed the critical
benchmark of 50% passkey usage in everyday sign-ins.
