Are your passkey defaults restricting user security?

The Passkey Spectrum: Defaults, Choice, and Security Keys

In WebAuthn, authenticatorAttachment: "platform" is often treated as just another parameter. In reality, it is a strict UX policy decision that can unnecessarily restrict legitimate consumer choice.

In our upcoming session, we’re diving into the technical and UX implications of how product teams implement FIDO standards.

We’ll discuss:

• The real-world impact of forcing platform authenticators.
• Why product teams should only restrict authenticator choice when there is an explicit policy reason.
• How to seamlessly integrate hardware-bound passkeys (like the YubiKey) alongside synced passkeys.

Because risk is personal, your authentication architecture should be flexible. Join us to learn how to design for assurance and user agency.
