Why Passwordless B2C Rollouts Stall at 5% (and How to Reach 60%)
The article discusses the challenges of achieving high adoption rates for passwordless login systems in B2C environments. Despite the availability of WebAuthn APIs, many implementations see only 5-10% of users adopting passkeys. The piece emphasizes the importance of user experience design and observability in driving successful rollouts.
