  • •Passkey authentications have nearly doubled to 2.5 million monthly in 2026.
  • •Over 57% of Dashlane users now store at least one passkey, up from 40% last year.
  • •Major platforms still see low passkey adoption, with Google at 28% and Amazon at 17%.

According to a new report from Dashlane, passkey authentications have nearly doubled in the past year, reaching 2.5 million per month as of 2026. Despite this growth, passkeys still account for a minority of logins on major platforms, with Google at 28% and Amazon at 17%. Over half of Dashlane users now store at least one passkey, up from 40% last year. The report highlights the need for improved visibility and usability of passkeys to drive adoption. Passkeys are designed to be phishing-resistant and secure, leveraging public-key cryptography to protect user credentials. However, the gap between current adoption rates and potential remains significant, with around 70% of logins still not utilizing passkeys. Dashlane emphasizes the importance of application developers enforcing passkey use to transition from optional to mandatory authentication methods.
