Q: Any chance of getting support for passkeys?
I'm interested in this plugin for sure, but I'm trying to justify the cost of this vs free plugins like word fence (especially considering that many good hosting companies offer advanced firewalls, malware screening and more).
One feature I'd love to have that would actually make me seriously consider buying this immediately would be if you were committed to adding a good passkeys implementation. There's not many plugins offering it (I'm currently using WP-WebAuthn), and the ones I've used are often clunky and have poor UIs and implementations.
If I could get a polished implementation of passkeys in a security plugin that my clients would actually use it would be worth the price to me as currently my clients hate 2fA and getting them to adhere to best practices is like pulling teeth when it comes at the cost of convenience.

Jul 8, 2025A: Hi Squibler,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful question. We completely agree, passkeys and WebAuthn (FIDO2/Yubico) are the future of secure, user-friendly authentication, and there's a real need for a polished, reliable implementation in the WordPress ecosystem. Short answer? Yes.
We've heard from several users (including on our feature request board) that this is a high-value feature, and we've listened - https://securityninja.productlift.dev/p/please-extend-the-authentication-using-a-webauth-method-with-IDMsaK
We want to make sure it's not just secure, but also intuitive enough that your clients will actually use it (and not complain about the process!).
While I can't give you a firm release date just yet, I can confirm that this is now on our roadmap and under active research and development. This will be released in weeks, not months. If you'd like, you can sign up on the link to follow along or write us at support@wpsecurityninja.com so we can manually sign you up for our newsletter.
Thank you again for your feedback, it's exactly this kind of input that helps us prioritize what matters most to our users. If you have any other suggestions or questions, please let us know!

Thanks for letting me know it's a WIP. I've emailed you to get signed up for your mailing list and also included 2 ideas for implementation that I think would set your plugin apart from the competition and make your rollout superior to what anyone else is offering currently.
