  • Great plugin

    It's a great plugin. However, at this time I will deduct one star because it does not support login from the Woocommerce my-account page.

  • Good Work!

    It really convince that easy to login with Passkey.(Use Bitwarden for Login)

    JS

  • It just works!

    Nice work. Integrates very well and works great. I like that it adds another authentication method and doesn't remove the default login.
