User Onboarding & Sign-Up

Streamline new account sign-up with passkey-first enrolment while filtering out fraudulent registrations early.

The challenge

Sign-up is often the first friction point new customers experience, yet it is also a common entry point for fraudulent bulk account creation. Organisations need a registration flow that is quick for genuine users while still applying enough verification to deter automated or fraudulent sign-ups before they enter the system.

Key capabilities in this use case

Passkey-first registration

Prompt new users to create a passkey at sign-up rather than setting a password, reducing later credential risk.

Verification at registration

Confirm phone number or device ownership during sign-up using OTP or push before the account is activated.

Bot and automation resistance

Apply rules that detect sign-up patterns consistent with scripted or bulk account creation.

Frictionless returning-device recognition

Recognise a previously verified device to speed up onboarding for repeat sign-ups from the same household or organisation.

Core capabilities

Passkey enrolment at sign-up

Registers a passkey as part of the onboarding flow.

Phone and device verification

Confirms ownership before account activation.

Sign-up risk rules

Flags patterns typical of automated registration abuse.

Pre-built onboarding UI

Ready components for the registration screen.

How it works in practice

Screening sign-ups without slowing genuine customers

An online marketplace wants to speed up new account creation while reducing the volume of fraudulent seller accounts being registered in bulk. It integrates Authsignal into its sign-up flow so new users create a passkey instead of a password, and phone ownership is verified with a one-time code before the account goes live. The rules engine is configured to flag sign-ups that share device fingerprints or arrive in unusual bursts, routing them to manual review rather than instant activation. Genuine customers complete sign-up in under a minute, while suspicious registrations are held back for closer inspection.

  1. 1New user completes passkey enrolment during sign-up
  2. 2Phone or device ownership verified before activation
  3. 3Suspicious sign-up patterns flagged for review

Expected outcomes

  • Faster, password-free onboarding for genuine users
  • Fewer fraudulent or bulk-created accounts
  • Stronger credentials established from day one
  • Reduced manual review burden through automated flagging
