Enable Passkeys for a Specific Application in Auth0
Last Updated:
Overview
Auth0 configures passkeys at the database connection level rather than the individual application level, meaning all applications sharing a database connection inherit the passkey setting. To enable passkeys for a single application, assign a dedicated database connection with passkeys enabled exclusively to that application.
Applies To
- Auth0
- Passkeys
- Database Connections
- Universal Login
Solution
How does an administrator enable passkeys for a specific application?
Create a dedicated database connection, assign it exclusively to the target application, and configure the passkey settings.
- Create or assign a database connection for the application.
- Enable the connection only for the application that requires passkeys and verify that the connection is not enabled for any other application.
- Confirm that the tenant and the dedicated database connection meet all passkey prerequisites.
- Enable and configure passkeys on the dedicated connection.
