Passkey Support for Custom Database Connections with Import Mode Off - Early Access

$npx -y @buildinternet/releases show rel_u0zy9jHB70II7UtQ3NAhu

We are excited to introduce expanded passkey support for custom database connections! Now available without enabling import mode.

What’s New:

  • You can now enable passkey-based authentication for custom database connections without importing or trickle-migrating users into Auth0 (i.e., with import mode turned off).
  • End users can easily enroll in passkeys after their first successful login, requiring no prior passkey credentials in your external identity store.
  • Passkey credentials are securely stored in Auth0, while your external identity store continues to handle all other authentication logic.

This enhancement unlocks frictionless, passkey-based login experiences for enterprises that manage user credentials outside of Auth0 - without requiring user migration or changes to existing identity architecture.

To enable the Limited Early Access release in your Auth0 tenant, contact your Technical Account Manager to request access.
