One thing I find odd about Okta’s marketing when it comes to Passkeys and passwordless is that they market it as “Biometrics”. I guess this makes sense since the prompts that users see on most platforms are for FaceID/TouchID/Windows Hello. But I, as someone who understands how Passkeys are implemented on these platforms, knows that Okta doesn’t actually deal with any biometrics, nor would I ever want them to.
