Authentication Intelligence
Reconstruct login journeys across passkeys, passwords, OTP, social login and fallbacks.
Passkeys for Banking
Banking passkeys with audit-grade Authentication Intelligence
Passkeys are one part of a wider authentication journey. Corbado adds client-side telemetry, process mining and rollout governance so failures are auditable for fraud and compliance without replacing your IDP.
- Works with any IDP (e.g. Okta, Ping & custom CIAM)
- Auth-native client-side telemetry
- Gradual rollout, kill switch & safe fallbacks
These banks have rolled out passkeys:
Why authentication journeys get stuck in pilot
Banking authentication journeys don't just "fail". They go dark.
Server logs tell you success or failure. They don't tell you whether the prompt was shown, whether users cancelled vs. hit a platform error or when fallbacks were triggered. Without that visibility, passkey adoption plateaus and rollout risk feels unpredictable.
01
No visibility into the real journey
Prompt not shown, cancel vs failure, timeouts, credential manager issues: all missing in IDP logs.
02
No adoption engine
Without device-aware timing, data, UX nudges and experiments, passkeys remain "optional" and underused.
03
Rollout risk blocks scale
Edge cases show up in production. Teams hesitate to expand without controls.
What banks get with Corbado
Observe. Adopt. Control.
Run passkeys like a critical system.
Observability
14 days → 5 minutes
Faster Time-to-Resolution
Find the "why" behind failures with passkey-native telemetry segmented by OS, browser & authenticator.
Adoption
10% → 80%+
Higher Passkey Adoption
Increase passkey usage by optimizing prompting, timing and UX. Data-driven instead of guesswork.
Control
100% Control
Risk‑Free Rollout
Granular policies, gradual rollout by cohort and smart fallbacks to avoid lockouts. Kill switch included.
Banking use cases
Where Corbado fits in a bank's authentication program
Everyday login & step‑up MFA
Use passkeys as the phishing-resistant path. Step up only when needed.
Account opening & onboarding completion
Reduce friction where abandonment is expensive.
Account recovery
Fewer password reset flows and fewer "I'm locked out" tickets.
High‑risk actions & payment authorization
Protect payee changes, transfers and profile updates with phishing-resistant authentication.
Rollout governance
Segment by region, app version, risk tier or customer cohorts. Then expand safely.
Authentication intelligence & insights
Monitor login patterns, device details and adoption metrics to optimize identify friction points.
Works with your existing IDP
Add the missing layer without migrating users
1
Keep your IDP
Ping/Okta/ForgeRock/Azure AD/custom remain in place
2
Add Corbado (via SDK)
Captures client-side telemetry and enables adoption.
3
Operate in the Management Console
Dashboards, cohort rollouts, policies, alerts and ROI reporting.
Security & Compliance
Built for regulated environments
Feature walkthrough
Your banking authentication control room
See where bank customers authenticate, fall back, abandon or recover accounts, then prove which passkey changes improve adoption and support load.
Per-user journey debugging
Move from a ticket or complaint to the exact path, environment and error context.
Friction and error patterns
Find where device, browser, market or authenticator combinations create drop-offs.
Adoption and method uplift
Compare authentication methods by completion, speed and login share to prove impact.
Passkey Intelligence controls
Route users into passkey, fallback or holdback paths based on rollout context.
Passkey-first components
Embed pre-built login, append and management components beside your existing IDP.
Business Case
Prove ROI to CFO, CISO & Ops
Estimate savings from reduced SMS OTP reliance, fewer recovery tickets. Validate with real telemetry once you go live.
- Cut up to 70% of auth costs by reducing OTP and recovery overhead
- Reduce support volume for password resets by 50%
- Increase completion rates login flows
Alternatives
Without Corbado, banking authentication journeys run blind
Corbado adds client-side telemetry, authentication process mining and rollout governance to your IDP.
Rely on CIAM/SIEM logs
You get success/fail, not the client-side journey: prompt shown, cancel vs. failure or device gaps.
Use generic analytics tools
You can see drop-offs, but not root causes, WebAuthn errors or cross-device behavior.
Build dashboards in-house
Slow and expensive to get auth-native telemetry and you still only see your own edge cases.
