Surge in Passkey Adoption: Strategies and Successes
summary
Amazon reports 175 million passkey customers after a global roll‑out that uses split experiments and targeted nudges. Enrollment treatments (direct modal, auto‑clicked modal, and low‑friction modal) drive adoption with 4.5× enrollments on mobile and 3× on desktop versus a passive nudge, and sign‑ins become six times faster for enrolled users. Mobile autofill and platform‑matched auto‑click succeed; desktop autofill causes confusion and is dialed back. Roadmap aims to make passkeys default, remove passwords, and pursue conditional auto‑enrollment as the next big lever.
