Passkey Authentication

Introduction​

Passkey Authentication is a modern, passwordless authentication method that enhances user security and convenience. Using passkeys, users can authenticate themselves without traditional passwords, reducing the risk of password-related security breaches. This document provides a detailed overview of the passkey functionality and step-by-step instructions on configuring this feature in the LoginRadius Admin Console.

Configuration Steps​

  • Enable the Passkey Authentication toggle.

    Configure the following settings as needed:

    Passkey Selection: Choose between Autofill, Button, or Both. Autofill allows users to select the passkey from the autofill form, Button displays a "Sign In with Passkey" button on the login page, and Both enable both options.

  • Progressive Enrollment: Enable this option to prompt users to establish a passkey during email/password login if needed. Users can skip this step, and it will reappear after a specified delay.

    Progressive Enrollment Delay (Days): Specify the number of days after which the progressive enrollment option will reappear for users who skip it.

  • Local Enrollment: Enable this to require users to generate a local passkey when logging in on a new device using a cross-device passkey. Users can skip this step if needed.

    Relying Party Display Name: Enter the brand name of the relying party (website).

    Relying Party ID: Enter the base domain name without schema or ports.

    Relying Party Origins: Enter the exact domain name with schema and port, if applicable. Example: https://<LoginRadius site name>.hub.loginradius.com

  • Click SAVE to apply the configurations.
