2 TopicsImplementing Passkey login on small business websites
I'm a one person web developer who manages a couple of dozen small business websites built with WordPress or custom PHP, HTML & JS. I would love to add Passkey support to my clients sites to improve their security but implementing Passkeys is far too complex and costly for me and my clients. Passkey rollout seems to have gone hand in hand with suddenly needing to pay subscription SAAS pricing to allow users to login with Passkeys. There are literally thousands of easy to implement, open source packages, or free and secure code examples available online to implement password login for websites, but virtually nothing as easy for Passkeys. Now we've got lots of companies trying to make money out of Passkeys by charging per user fees for their services to login to websites using Passkeys. This is not an option for most one person web developers with cost conscious small business clients. Even the Passage 'free' plans are open ended and you could suddenly face big bills if your website becomes popular and gets a lot of sign-ups. They're also far more complex to setup and Passage's WordPress option takes users to an externally hosted login page, which is not the best user flow. I can't see Passkeys ever replacing passwords for the millions of small business websites until there are much easier and cost effective solutions to do so. (I'm aware of the WP-WebAuthn plugin for WordPress, which mostly works, but is a bit clunky.)12Views0likes0CommentsWelcome to the Passage forum – let’s build a passwordless future!
