KenyaCorbado is a passkey-first authentication service and developer toolkit that simplifies WebAuthn implementation. It offers drop-in web components and SDKs that enable users to create passkeys tied to their device biometric sensors (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) and log in seamlessly across desktop and mobile browsers.
In Nigeria, where SMS OTP delivery failures from telcos (MTN, Airtel) frequently disrupt customer onboarding and checkout flows, Corbado provides a resilient, passwordless alternative that eliminates SMS costs and friction.
