Multiple users came up on the stage to detail how passkeys have made a difference in consumer, enterprise, and government use cases, and what lessons have been learned. There was also a \u201cPasskeys for Payments\u201d track, where speakers from Visa and Mastercard detailed the challenges and opportunities in the space.

Among the many users that spoke was Elizabeth Beasley, Senior Content Designer at <\/strong>Intuit. She shared insights on implementing passkeys, emphasizing the importance of organization and user testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Experience (UX) really matters too, and to that end, Beasley stressed the value and importance of the FIDO UX Working Group and the passkeys design guidelines that it has produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When you go to passkeycentral.org<\/a>, you can see the stuff that this group has helped create, and we’re going to keep creating more,” Beasley said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikel Grabocka, Security Architect, Identity and Trust at SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG, explained that the passkey rollout is happening across the company’s users. The target state is to have passwordless alongside managed devices across the entire company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial rollout has been very strong, with 30% of eligible users adopting passwordless within the first month of it being available. He noted that the key focus for the deployment is taking a gradual, well-documented, and iterative approach, with a strong emphasis on user awareness and adoption. SMG plans to have 100% of its employees passwordless by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing Passkeys to DocuSign <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DocuSign, one of the world’s leading e-signature providers, is also adopting passkeys.<\/p>\n\n\n

“Safety and trust is the foundation of everything that we do,” Sarah Zou, lead product manager at DocuSign said. “That’s why we decided to invest in passkey. We wanted to make sure the first step of getting users into the signing ceremony, they feel welcome with a seamless protected experience, knowing that they’re using the most innovative new industry standard – passkey.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DocuSign has also implemented passkey as a service, allowing the company to leverage it beyond just the login flow. DocuSign is using passkey to unlock other use cases, such as the DocuSign ID Wallet in the European market. The ID Wallet allows users to create, manage, and store their digital identity, which can then be used for identity verification before signing documents. Passkey is used to secure access to the ID Wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Grossar, Vice President, Product Management at Mastercard, provided insight into how the Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) specification will help improve payment security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“SPC implements passkeys – but with additional security and better user experience,” Grossar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enhancements that SPC provide include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
