WebAuthn Passkey Troubleshooting Basics

Fix common passkey login problems

This guide explains troubleshooting passkey (WebAuthn) issues: confirm browser/device support, check account settings and sync, verify domain/origin configuration, and handle recovery when devices change.

Confirm support

Ensure the OS and browser support passkeys/WebAuthn and that screen lock/biometrics are enabled.

Check account and sync

Verify passkeys are saved to the correct account (platform sync) and that you are signed into the right profile.

Validate origin/domain

Passkeys are bound to the site origin; confirm you are using the same domain and HTTPS.

Recovery and fallback

Keep backup authenticators and recovery options; remove stale passkeys and re-register if needed.
