* It's harder to phish your domain if you have a vanity URL because the phisher must create a vanity URL to mimic yours. For example, with a custom domain, you can use your own certificate to get an Extended Validation, making phishing harder.
* [Passkeys](/docs/authenticate/database-connections/passkeys), a phishing-resistant alternative to traditional authentication factors, are bound to your custom domain by the relying party ID attribute `rpId`. Before you configure your custom domain, we recommend you use the parent or origin (e.g. `yourDomain.com`) rather than a subdomain (`login.yourDomain.com`). If your custom domain in Auth0 is set to the origin, end users can use a single passkey to authenticate across native or mobile web applications. To learn more, read [Configure Passkey Policy](/docs/authenticate/database-connections/passkeys/configure-passkey-policy#configure-relying-party-id-rpid).

Passkeys are a phishing-resistant alternative to traditional authentication factors (such as identifier/password) that offer an easier and more secure login experience to users. Passkeys are modeled from FIDO® W3C Web Authentication (WebAuthn) and Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) [specifications](https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.1-ps-20210615/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.1-ps-errata-20220621.html#intro).

Passkeys reduce the friction experienced with single-device authentication methods by allowing credentials to sync across devices. Cross-device authentication eliminates the need for users to re-enroll on each of their devices. It also supports a more reliable recovery method as the stored credentials can survive the loss of an originating device. To learn more about passkeys, review the FIDO® Alliance [Passkey FAQs](https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/#faq).
Passkeys reduce the friction experienced with single-device authentication methods by allowing credentials to sync across devices and map to associated domains. WebAuthn binds credentials like passkeys to a specific domain identified by the [Relying Party ID attribute](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#relying-party-identifier) to bind the passkey to the domain from which is what created and can authenticate. For example, if your web application is served at `login.example.com` and your native application served at `app.example.com`, you can configure the <Tooltip tip="Relying Party: Entity (such as a service or application) that depends on a third-party identity provider to authenticate a user." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Relying+Party">Relying Party</Tooltip> ID to `example.com`. End users are able to authenticate to any `example.com` domain with a single passkey.

Auth0 supports passkeys as an authentication method for [database connections](/docs/authenticate/database-connections) and offers three methods of implementation:
* Universal Login passkeys for web-based applications
* [Embedded Login for web-based and native applications](/docs/authenticate/passwordless/implement-login/embedded-login)
* [Native passkeys for Android and iOS applications](docs/authenticate/database-connections/passkeys/native-passkeys-for-mobile-applications)

Native passkeys require the use of a <Tooltip tip="Custom Domain: Third-party domain with a specialized, or vanity, name." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=custom+domain">custom domain</Tooltip>. Before proceeding, ensure you have configured a custom domain for your tenant. To learn more, review [Custom Domains](/docs/customize/custom-domains).
