Recognizing Multidevice Passkeys in the Gartner Hype Cycle 2025

The 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Identity marks a pivotal moment for passwordless authentication, with Corbado recognized as a leading vendor in the Multidevice passkey space. This recognition signals a broader industry transformation, as enterprises increasingly prioritize both robust security and seamless user experience in their authentication strategies. Gartner's research pinpoints the growing demand for authentication methods that eliminate the trade-off between usability and protection - an area where multidevice passkeys excel.


Understanding the Gartner Hype Cycle and Its Impact

The Gartner Hype Cycle is a strategic tool for technology leaders, mapping the adoption journey of emerging innovations. Multidevice passkeys are currently positioned on the "Slope of Enlightenment," a stage where the technology demonstrates practical value and sees growing adoption. For enterprises, Corbado's inclusion as a Sample Vendor in this cycle accelerates the evaluation and procurement process, making it easier to justify the adoption of next-generation authentication solutions.


The Rise of Multidevice Passkeys: Adoption and Impact

Market readiness for passkeys is rapidly increasing, with over 95% of iOS and Android devices already compatible. Major companies—such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft—have integrated passkeys into their authentication flows, reporting measurable gains in login speed, user success rates, and reductions in both fraud and abandonment. Initiatives like the Passkey Pledge and World Passkey Day further highlight strong industry commitment to passwordless authentication.


Eliminating Authentication Friction with Biometric Login

A critical insight from Gartner is the direct link between authentication friction and user abandonment. Traditional passwords increase drop-off rates and support costs. Passkeys, leveraging public-key cryptography and biometric login, offer a frictionless and highly secure user experience. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also supports business growth across marketing, sales, and operations.


Corbado’s Differentiation: Intelligent Passkey Adoption for Enterprises

Why Enterprises Should Prioritize Passwordless Authentication

As digital identity grows more complex and threats more sophisticated, enterprises need authentication solutions that balance security and user experience. Multidevice passkeys, backed by industry leaders and now recognized by Gartner, provide a proven path forward. Corbado’s platform is positioned to help organizations accelerate their digital identity transformation with measurable results.
