Meta shares a novel approach to enabling cross-device passkey authentication for devices with inaccessible displays (like XR devices).

  • We’re sharing a novel approach to enabling cross-device passkey authentication for devices with inaccessible displays (like XR devices).
  • Our approach bypasses the use of QR codes and enables cross-device authentication without the need for an on-device display, while still complying with all trust and proximity requirements.
  • This approach builds on work done by the FIDO Alliance and we hope it will open the door to bring secure, passwordless authentication to a whole new ecosystem of devices and platforms.
