Authentication Intelligence
Reconstruct login journeys across passkeys, passwords, OTP, social login and fallbacks.
Passkeys for E-Commerce
E-commerce passkeys with Authentication Intelligence
Login friction kills conversion. Corbado shows why adoption is flat, what breaks login and checkout journeys, and where rollout can scale without replacing your IDP.
- Works with any IDP (e.g. Okta, Ping & custom CIAM)
- Client-side telemetry for login & checkout drop-offs
- Gradual roll out & kill switch
These e-commerce companies have rolled out passkeys:
Why authentication stalls in e-commerce
E-commerce authentication journeys don't just "fail". They go dark.
Auth logs tell you success or failure. They don't tell you whether the prompt was shown, whether customers cancelled vs. hit a browser error or when password fallbacks were triggered. Without that visibility, passkey adoption plateaus and conversion suffers.
01
No visibility into login drop-offs
Prompt not shown, user cancelled vs. browser error, password fallback: all missing in logs.
02
No adoption engine for shoppers
Without device-aware timing and UX nudges, passkeys remain "optional" and unused.
03
Conversion risk blocks deployment
Edge cases show up in production. Teams hesitate to roll out broadly without controls.

Alternatives
Without Corbado, e-commerce login journeys stall quietly
Corbado adds client-side telemetry, authentication process mining and rollout governance to your IDP.
Rely on auth logs only
You see success/fail, not why shoppers drop off: prompt shown, cancel vs. error & device gaps.
Use generic product analytics
You can track events, but you can’t explain passkey errors, retries or cross-device journeys.
Build dashboards in-house
Hard to maintain a reliable device-capability map and auth-native taxonomy.
