Passkeys have reached global scale with 5 billion passkeys now in active use. Across both consumer and workforce environments, awareness is now near-universal and adoption has followed: 90% of consumers are familiar with passkeys, and 75% have enabled them on at least some accounts. In parallel, workforce deployment is approaching mainstream levels, with 68% of organizations deploying, piloting, or rolling out passkeys for employee authentication.​
