Go Passwordless

Replace passwords with passkeys and drop-in MFA for a faster, more secure sign-in experience.

The challenge

Passwords remain the weakest point in most authentication journeys: they are reused, phished and expensive to reset at scale. Moving to a passwordless model is often stalled by concerns over device coverage, fallback options and the effort of rebuilding login screens across web and native apps.

Key capabilities in this use case

Passkey-first login

Offer WebAuthn passkeys as the primary sign-in method, with biometric or device unlock replacing password entry.

Graceful fallback paths

Provide OTP, push or WhatsApp verification for users on unsupported devices or during initial rollout.

Cross-platform SDKs

Deploy consistent passwordless flows across web, iOS and Android using Authsignal's client libraries.

Progressive migration

Move existing password-based users to passkeys gradually, without forcing an abrupt account migration.

Core capabilities

WebAuthn passkey support

Native passkey creation and assertion flows.

Multi-channel fallback

SMS, WhatsApp, push and TOTP options where needed.

Pre-built UI

Ready-made components speed up front-end integration.

Cross-device sync awareness

Handles passkeys synced via platform ecosystems.

How it works in practice

Rolling out passkeys to a customer app

A subscription service wants to cut login abandonment caused by forgotten passwords. It integrates Authsignal's passkey flow into its existing mobile and web apps, prompting returning users to register a passkey at their next login. New sign-ups are offered passkeys by default, with SMS OTP kept as a fallback for older devices. Within a few release cycles, most active users are authenticating with a biometric prompt instead of typing a password, and the customer support team sees fewer password-reset requests. The identity team retains its existing user directory throughout, since Authsignal sits as an authentication layer rather than replacing it.

  1. 1Passkey prompt added to existing login screen
  2. 2Fallback OTP retained for unsupported devices
  3. 3Adoption tracked and rollout expanded

Expected outcomes

  • Lower login abandonment and reset requests
  • Reduced exposure to password-based attacks
  • Faster sign-in experience for returning users
  • Incremental migration without a full re-platform

How CyberLane helps

CyberLane advises on the sequencing of a passwordless rollout, from fallback design to device-coverage analysis, so teams can plan a passkey migration that fits their user base rather than adopting an all-or-nothing approach.

  • Passwordless readiness assessment
  • Fallback and device-coverage plan
  • Migration sequencing roadmap
  • Stakeholder briefing pack

CyberLane is independent and works on the decision rather than the deployment. Product-specific delivery is coordinated with the vendor or a qualified implementation partner.
