Xero Login - Enable Passkeys as a replacement to passwords

Passkeys (https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/) are rapidly taking over passwords and are infinitely more secure than passwords.

Intuit are already using Passkeys (https://fidoalliance.org/case-study-intuits-roi-from-passwordless-customer-authentication/)

Hi team, we've just launched passkeys to our first group of users. From this week, Xero Me app users who haven't set up MFA yet will be able to use passkeys to log into Xero. Next, we'll be progressively rolling this out to more users over the coming months. We look forward to and welcome your feedback here. As we have more news on the rollout I'll share with you on this idea.

    Is this still under review or is the product team working on it. 4 months is a long time!

    If only I could bottle and sell the energy created from the frustrated sighs of staff when they have to enter the MFA code 5 times a day...

    So glad to see this. Having to login multiple times a day, plus the login popup doesn't smoothly integrate with password managers (sometimes it fills, sometimes it doesn). Passkeys are life changing when properly setup because reauthenticating can be as simple as a single click. We would be happy to beta test this! As a MSP, we've setup MANY types of FIDO2 authentication methods (Yubikeys, Google Titan, Windows Hello, 1Password Passkey, etc) to help our client deploy them.

    Now add Microsoft and Google SSO.

    This should already be implemented with how much you charge. Forget making everything look pretty and get this thing secure.

    Huge +1, pulling up the 2FA rotating token every day is subpar.

    I had to end up here to see what the status is with passkeys in xero, I'm amazed this is not a priority that I can find to date on the dev radar. What gives Xero?
