Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
WebAuthn Conditional Create is a credential-creation mode that lets a site register a passkey opportunistically, immediately after a user signs in with an existing password held in the same credential manager, instead of interrupting them with a separate enrolment prompt. The browser and password manager decide whether the moment is appropriate and the passkey is created quietly, which lets sites move accounts away from passwords without adding a step to the sign-in flow.
