Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Now stable in Chrome with a clean silent-reject fallback and a clear UX win for returning users, but the OT->stable API rename and single-browser support mean it must be additive behind capability detection, never the only path.
Next
Feature-detect via PublicKeyCredential.getClientCapabilities().immediateGet and wire uiMode:'immediate' as a Chrome-only fast path with silent fallback to the existing password/conditional-UI flow.
