Authenticate Issuing cardholders with biometrics
Passkeys let your cardholders authenticate with biometrics such as Face ID or Touch ID when using Adyen-issued cards. This removes the need for traditional methods like SMS OTP and passwords, helping reduce authentication drop-off.
Give cardholders a faster way to authenticate
Passkeys provide browser-based biometric authentication without requiring cardholders to use your mobile app. This gives you broader coverage and can help increase authentication success with less friction.
Enable Passkeys for your Issuing program
Passkeys are enabled by default for Adyen Issuing, so no additional integration work is required. You can start offering biometric authentication to your cardholders without changing your existing setup.
