Passkey Errors: Explain Every Passkey Failure | Corbado

Explain every passkey failure

The browser gives you NotAllowedError. It won't say whether the user canceled, the prompt timed out or the platform was not ready. Passkey Errors classifies every failure by stage, type and platform.

Classify first, then fix

The error message is where debugging starts, not ends

Passkey Errors quantifies failure patterns across your whole traffic. When one user writes in, User Debugging replays their exact journey.

Browser errors are vague

WebAuthn reports one exception for a dozen causes. Classifying it by journey stage makes it actionable.

Readiness is the context

Readiness decides the split: which failures are your bug and which are just the platform.

Recovery is the severity

An error most recover from is friction. One nobody recovers from ends sessions. Recovery rate tells them apart.

Passkey Errors

From vague exception to root cause

Three views: where a failure happened, its type and whether users recovered.

  1. Follow every passkey attempt stage by stage One journey diagram for every passkey login, from readiness to completion. Inspect any node for its flows.

  2. Every error classified and quantified

  3. Watch an error cluster get explained
