A must-have for WordPress sites
A fantastic plugin, and it was long overdue in this day and age. Thank you, very professional and clean work.

Best Passkey plugin
I tested a few. The next best contender needs a PHP module that's not available everywhere, and it stopped working when I upgraded the PHP version to 8.4.THIS plugin just works like a charm in any shared environment. Works also in combination with the Automattic Two-Factor plugin. So you get the best of both worlds. The developer is very responsive and helpful. All open source, hosted on GitHub. This plugin is now on all my websites.Keep up the good work Mohamed.

No function given during login.Passkey can be registered successfully (Windows Hello fingerprint).But the login itself fails.Error message:Authentication with passkey failed. Please try again if you want to continue.Authentifizierung mit Passkey fehlgeschlagen. Bitte versuche es erneut, wenn du fortfahren möchtest.

Solid 5 even with minor issues
Just what I needed when I wanted to create my own plugin. However, it has a few bugs and minor good-to-haves: If I only activate it on one of the sites in a MultiSite, it does not work because it relies on the base prefix to be accessed. If I activate notifications for users, it does not notify on each subdomain in a MultiSite. Since passkeys are unique for each domain/subdomain this should be fixed. The error, notice and button in the login form should be formated as native WP tags. I would have prefered to hide the settings under Settings in the menu. That is where it belongs. Still, I will have this as one of the few default external plugins to use for now.

Amazing Plugin!
This plugin is amazing and I have nothing but thanks for you! My only concern is if i install and use this long term, how long do you plan on supporting this plugin? This plugin is amazing I'm just scared that if I install it and a year down the road you decide to drop it, i have to remove the feature from the site and users that will by then use it.
