# What are good user prompts to nurture passkey creation?

## What are the most effective passkey user prompts to increase passkey creation immediately after a successful login?

The most effective **passkey user prompts** occur immediately after a successful login,
when users are already in an authentication mindset. Prompting
[passkey creation](https://www.corbado.com/blog/passkey-creation-best-practices) at this precise moment leverages
the user's current context, making them more likely to adopt passkeys compared to prompts
in settings or banners within the application.

## Best-Practice Examples

Major enterprises have extensively tested and validated post-login prompts:

- **Amazon** observed a significant increase in adoption by automatically triggering
  prompts, especially on mobile, leading to up to **6× faster sign-ins**.
- **Google** uses convenience-focused prompts like "Skip typing your password next time,"
  proven through rigorous A/B tests with over **2.5 billion passkey sign-ins**.
- **Microsoft** tailored their prompts to different personas and device segments,
  achieving steady adoption across diverse user groups.

## Key Recommendations for Your Prompts

To optimize your prompts effectively, follow these guidelines:

- **Simple, clear messaging** emphasizing convenience ("Faster sign-in, no passwords") or
  security ("Protect your account from [phishing](https://www.corbado.com/glossary/phishing)").
- **A/B testing** different messages to identify which resonate best with your audience.
- **Controlled prompt frequency** to avoid overwhelming users. Repeated prompts can
  increase adoption, but introduce a cooldown period (e.g., 30 days) after several skips
  to reduce friction.
- **Different approaches for mobile and desktop**: Automatic prompts on mobile can
  increase acceptance significantly (30–50% higher acceptance rates), while desktop
  prompts should generally be user-triggered to avoid intrusiveness.

Following these proven best practices ensures high adoption rates and helps you replace
passwords with [passkeys at scale](https://www.corbado.com/blog/introducing-passkeys-large-scale-overview),
boosting security and improving user experience simultaneously.
