Developers Can Quickly and Easily Accelerate the Migration to Passwordless with Passkeys – Ensuring the Highest Levels of User and Application Security
SAN FRANCISCO: Stytch, the most powerful identity platform built for developers, today announced the general availability of its Passkeys offering, giving developers the easiest way to build, customize and maintain passkey-based authentication in their applications. Stytch’s new solution offers a flexible, API-first approach to passkeys that abstracts the complexity of cross-platform implementation while maintaining guardrails for application and user security. Developers can now quickly and easily build a passkey experience that’s tailored to their application, without worrying about exposing security vulnerabilities or maintaining the implementation as the technology continues to evolve. As a result, applications are more reliable, scalable and secure.
Passkey adoption is rapidly accelerating industry-wide as it offers a safer and more user-friendly alternative to passwords. However, passkeys pose intricate challenges for developers during implementation, such as architecting for multiple platforms, adapting to every impacting update from those platforms, addressing account recovery and lockout issues, configuring creation settings, and managing UI complexities like autofill and syncing. Existing passkey solutions solve some of these challenges but severely restrict the ability for developers to customize authentication logic and user interfaces (UI) to match the experience and branding of their applications. These challenges with implementing passkeys can result in a disjointed user experience and security vulnerabilities, undermining the advantages of transitioning to passwordless authentication in the first place.
"Stytch puts the power back in the hands of developers to create passkey experiences that perfectly align with their applications, unlocking the full potential of passwordless," stated Reed McGinley-Stempel, CEO and Co-founder. "By abstracting the complexities of authentication and giving developers unmatched control over user experience, Stytch is now an essential component of the tech stack that’s defining the newest generation of applications."
Stytch offers the most robust toolkit for developers to build, implement, and customize passkey-based authentication, backed by the most comprehensive, flexible identity platform. Only Stytch’s platform provides developers with the full flexibility to add passkeys to their authentication experience in the exact way they want. Stytch’s Passkeys offering:
