The core feature of the plugin is passwordless authentication using passkeys. Once enabled, users can log in using:

• Face ID or Touch ID on supported devices.

• Hardware security keys.
• Device PINs, where supported.

This removes the need to use passwords for login and significantly reduces risks from phishing, credential theft, and brute-force attacks.

2. Easy Passkey Registration for Users

Users can register a passkey directly from their profile without friction. The plugin supports:

• Registering passkeys for existing WordPress users.
• Creating new users with passkey registration.
• Managing multiple passkeys per account if needed.

Once a passkey is registered, users can log in instantly without remembering or typing passwords.

From the settings panel, you can:

• Limit the number of passkeys per user.
• Supports multiple passkey authentication flows depending on the user’s device, browser, and operating system capabilities.

These options allow you to balance usability and security based on your site’s needs.
