Smart Sense

For example, when the anomaly score is low, indicating a low probability that an anomaly exists and that a legitimate user has been authenticated, you can recommend the creation of a passkey via Nok Nok Registration Rules.

And in cases where anomalies are detected, the anomaly score also allows you to set user verification to “required”, while maintaining a default value of “preferred” when no anomalies are present. This capability enhances convenience for users operating their laptops in “clamshell mode,” where accessing the fingerprint sensor may be challenging.

Additionally, based on the anomaly score, you can determine if you want to trigger step-up authentication when a synced passkey is used on a new device for the first time, or when the passkey provider doesn’t provide an “authentication intent” signal (refer to NIST SP 800-63).
