Corbado Observe · Login Friction

See where login gets hard

Your success rate says 90%. It does not say how many of those users fought retries, method switches and recovery to get in. Login Friction scores every login and shows where struggle concentrates.

  • Friction score 0–100 for every engaged login

  • Worst patterns ranked by total friction

  • Filter by OS, browser, touchpoint and market

The struggle your backend never sees

Why success rates miss the real problem

Retries, dismissed prompts and fallbacks happen client-side, where IdP logs stop. Login Friction measures them. When the worst pocket is passkey-shaped, Passkey Errors explains it.

Completed is not clean

Three tries, a method switch, a recovery detour: still a success in your IdP. The score keeps it visible.

Friction concentrates

Averages spread the pain thin. The quadrant separates broken, noisy, silent-failure and healthy segments.

From score to session

Every block and every table row links to the flows behind it, so a friction number turns into journeys you can replay and fix.
