How can enterprises assess passkey readiness in their systems?

To assess passkey readiness in enterprise systems, follow these key steps:

1. Analyze the Device Landscape:

   • Use tools like Google Analytics or Matomo to gather data about user devices, operating systems (e.g., iOS, Android, Windows), and browsers.
   • Identify OS versions (e.g., iOS 16, Windows 10) and browser compatibility with WebAuthn/passkeys.

2. Evaluate Platform Authenticator Activation:

   • Determine if platform authenticators like Touch ID, Face ID, or Windows Hello are active.
   • Note that while iOS and Android often have these features enabled, Windows devices may require manual activation.

3. Identify Device-Specific Limitations:

   • Older devices may lack hardware support for passkeys, even if the OS supports them.
   • Use global usage statistics from sources like StatCounter to supplement gaps in your data.

4. Test Readiness: Use tools like Corbado’s Passkeys Analyzer to accurately assess compatibility across devices, browsers, and operating systems. This is GDPR-compliant and user-friendly.

By systematically analyzing these factors, enterprises can gauge their passkey readiness, ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing user adoption rates.
