What's an automatic passkey upgrade?
An automatic passkey upgrade is a WebAuthn feature that allows users to replace passwords with passkeys without requiring additional user actions. Users autofill their password and in the background a new passkey is created and stored in the user's credential manager.
- Seamless experience: No user action needed, reducing friction.
- Improved security: Passwords are automatically replaced with more secure passkeys.
- No additional software needed: If the system detects automatic passkey upgrade support, it can kick it off without requiring the user to get additional software.
