Passkeys and digital identity best practices
summary
Passkeys replace passwords with public key cryptography and reduce phishing risk; Verizon data shows 80% of breaches are linked to passwords and 58% of US consumers abandon purchases over password friction. The recommendation is to adopt Credential Manager API (single Jetpack dependency) which unifies passkeys, Sign in with Google, passwords, and third‑party providers like Dashlane; Kayak halves sign‑in time and one provider reports 70% conversion lift. Android 15 adds single‑tap sign‑in, autofill surfaces, restore credentials and Wear OS support.
