Enable Passkeys for a Specific Application in Auth0

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.

  1. Create or assign a database connection for the application.
  2. Enable the connection only for the application that requires passkeys and verify that the connection is not enabled for any other application.
  3. Confirm that the tenant and the dedicated database connection meet all passkey prerequisites.
  4. Enable and configure passkeys on the dedicated connection.
