Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Adopt conditionally on tested browser and credential-provider combinations.

Why
Automatic enrollment is available, but provider support and silent creation vary across environments.
Next
Pilot immediately after password autofill, measure completed registrations and subsequent sign-ins, and retain manual enrollment and recovery.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Requires a recently used saved password and a supporting credential provider.
  • Browser capability flags do not establish provider behavior.
  • Successful credential creation may still display provider UI.
  • Registration handling, timing and fallback require integration testing.
