# Web Passkey Readiness

[← all benchmarks](https://www.corbado.com/passkey-benchmark-2026.md)

Web passkey readiness measures how much of the browser audience can technically use passkeys today. It separates technical constraints from implementation choices so adoption work starts with the actual ceiling.

## Web passkey readiness by platform

*Start vs. end of 2025*

Readiness is measured on completed web logins. We do not just rely on browser API answers (`getClientCapabilities` / `isUVPAA`). A device counts as ready when the browser API is positive and it actually has a usable platform authenticator set up (e.g. Windows Hello enrolled, iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager active). Devices where the API says "yes" but no passkey provider is configured do not count.

| Platform | Start 2025 | End 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| iOS | 100% | 99% |
| Android | 96% | 97% |
| ChromeOS | 94% | 95% |
| macOS | 88% | 91% |
| Windows 11 | 85% | 85% |
| Windows 10 | 56% | 70% |

### Windows Browser Split

| Browser | Start 2025 | End 2025 | Outlook |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Chrome | 75% | 87% | 88% |
| Edge | 71% | 68% | 85% |
| Firefox | 56% | 60% | 66% |

### Notes

1. iOS is browser-only in this table. App and webview contexts are excluded because they are not normal browser contexts for relying-party passkeys; the Google App is the most important example. Depending on market mix, those contexts can account for roughly 1-10% of iOS web usage. Since passkeys do not work there like they do in a browser, that traffic can drag measured iOS readiness down by roughly the same amount and create login friction.
2. The iOS 26.2 WKWebView `isUVPAA()` regression is already visible at the end of 2025, then draws down third-party iOS browser readiness more heavily in the following months before recovery starts. Corbado documents the bug and recovery path in [this iOS 26.2 isUVPAA analysis](https://www.corbado.com/blog/isuvpaa-ios-26-getclientcapabilities).
3. Windows 10 and Windows 11 show Microsoft's continued passkey-readiness work paying off, especially around the December 2025 and February 2026 update waves, with further improvement in 2026 also visible for Windows 11. The browser split matters too: [Google Password Manager passkey sync reached desktop Chrome on September 19, 2024](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/passkeys-gpm-desktop), while [Microsoft announced passkey saving and syncing in Edge 142 on Windows on November 3, 2025](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2025/11/03/microsoft-edge-introduces-passkey-saving-and-syncing-with-microsoft-password-manager/). Those provider changes help explain why Chrome improves through 2025 and Edge catches up more visibly in early 2026.
