There is no B2B passkey API that I can use with Stytch and it looks like its in the backlog so probably no chance of it being in anytime soon. Is there anyway that I can implement Passkeys myself with Stytch? What is the best way forward here?

Hey Thanh - thanks so much for posting!
You’re correct that we do not currently support Passkeys in our B2B API - only our Consumer API. There’s not a good way to implement Passkeys with our B2B API at the moment; sorry about that.
That said, we’re tracking interest internally, and I’d be happy to add a +1 on your behalf! For our own understanding, are you looking to utilize Passkeys as a form of MFA, as a convenience factor, or something else?
Mostly as a convenience factor, something a user can setup after they have went through an MFA flow so the next time they can sign in with one click. After a some time maybe it’ll ask the user to go through a whole flow again before continuing to use the passkey. It being an extra factor would be nice but not strictly necessary.
Some simple APIs that we can all use would be a lot better than having nothing.
Got it, that definitely makes sense!
I’ve passed this context along to our Product team as a +1 on our existing internal tracker for Passkeys in B2B.
One other clarifying question - will this be primarily on mobile, or both mobile and web? For context I’m wondering if future biometrics support in mobile SDKs could also fit the bill here.
primarily web. most b2b sass apps just live in the browser. most users use chrome which support passkeys and should work fine on most machines. its for convenience so there does not need to be broad support
