TL;DR
Dashlane’s Passkey Power Report finds passkey use has surged—40% of its customers now store at least one passkey, doubling year-over-year. Apple’s addition of FIDO passkey portability in iOS, iPadOS and macOS 26, plus growing support from major SaaS vendors, removes key barriers for enterprise passwordless deployments.
What happened
Dashlane’s latest Passkey Power Report shows rapid consumer and business uptake of passkeys. The report says 40% of Dashlane customers store at least one passkey, a figure that has doubled from the prior year. Google’s move to make passkeys the default for personal Google accounts is cited as a major driver, with Dashlane noting more than a 350% increase in Google-related passkey usage. Major SaaS platforms, including HubSpot and Okta, are rolling out passkey support and rising in Dashlane’s domain rankings. Coinciding with this market momentum, Apple added support for the FIDO Alliance’s passkey portability standard in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26. That portability capability addresses a longstanding enterprise pain point by enabling secure movement of passkeys between Apple Passwords and third-party password managers without relying on insecure CSV exports. The report and recent platform changes together signal a narrowing window for IT to plan passwordless strategies.
Why it matters

- Passkeys reduce several common breach vectors—phishing, password reuse and credential stuffing—according to the report.
- Apple’s passkey portability lowers operational friction for IT teams that want to standardize on third-party password managers.
- Integration with existing device biometrics and Zero Trust frameworks makes passkeys a natural fit for enterprise security programs.
