Streamlined Authentication: Social Logins and Passkeys
As passkeys gain traction as the go-to authentication method, developers are tasked with making their integration seamless. At Corbado, we aim to enhance the developer experience (DX) and user experience (UX) by introducing features such as social logins and pre-filled passkey login buttons. These additions improve the flexibility and ease of authentication without compromising security.

Social logins through providers like Google, Microsoft, and GitHub offer users a familiar way to sign in using OAuth while keeping passkeys as the primary method. By combining the convenience of social logins with passkeys' strong security, developers can deliver a smooth authentication experience across platforms.
Pre-Filled Passkey Buttons: Faster Logins
The pre-filled passkey login button, or "One-Tap Passkey Login," enhances the user experience by storing passkey credentials in the browser's LocalStorage. This means users can log in with a single click during future sessions, cutting down the number of steps required for reauthentication. This feature is particularly useful for improving user retention by offering a quicker and more intuitive login experience.
Moreover, users can switch between accounts easily, ensuring flexibility while maintaining security.
Cross-Device Authentication Explainer
Cross-device authentication (CDA) often presents challenges, especially when users need to authenticate across multiple devices. Our new CDA explainer screens guide users through the process, making it easier to authenticate on different devices, whether it's switching between a smartphone and a desktop. These screens clarify any confusion, ensuring users understand each step.
For hybrid authentication scenarios, where passkeys from other devices are used via QR codes or Bluetooth, we've introduced a passkey append screen. This allows users to append a passkey to their account on a new device, simplifying future logins.
Customization for a Seamless Experience
We understand that every application has a unique style, which is why our UI components are highly customizable. Developers can now customize themes, including dark and light modes, to match their application's design. Additionally, our components support multiple translations, enabling a localized experience for users worldwide.
With these customization options, Corbado makes it easier for developers to create a cohesive authentication flow that feels native to their application.
Conclusion
Corbado’s latest updates in social logins, smart passkey buttons, and customization options make passkey integration more flexible and intuitive. Developers can provide users with a frictionless login experience while maintaining top-notch security.
