What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Core passkey functionality is shipped and interoperable across all major engines; only the newest extensions are uneven and they degrade gracefully behind capability detection.
Next
Use Conditional Get + JSON (de)serialization now (broad support); feature-detect newer extensions via getClientCapabilities() before relying on PRF, Related Origins or the Signal API.
