+# ASP.NET Core Identity PassKey Support
+
+## Overview
+
+Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql fully supports ASP.NET Core Identity PassKeys (WebAuthn credentials) introduced in .NET 10 / ASP.NET Core Identity Schema Version 3.
+
+## Background
+
+There was a concern raised in [dotnet/aspnetcore#64939](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/64939) that MySQL providers might not support PassKeys because the `IdentityPasskeyData` class contains properties with non-primitive types (specifically `string[]` for the `Transports` property) that need to be stored as JSON using EF Core's `.ToJson()` method.
+
+## Verification Results
+
+✅ **Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql works perfectly with PassKeys!**
+
+We've created and tested a complete sample application (`samples/PassKeyTest`) that demonstrates:
+
+1. ✅ Creating the `AspNetUserPasskeys` table with proper schema
+2. ✅ Storing PassKey data with complex types including `string[]` arrays
+3. ✅ Reading back PassKey records with full data integrity
+4. ✅ JSON serialization/deserialization of all properties
+5. ✅ Query support using MariaDB/MySQL JSON functions
+
+## How It Works
+
+Pomelo uses `MySqlStructuralJsonTypeMapping` to handle JSON columns created by `.ToJson()`:
+
+- **Storage**: JSON data is stored as `longtext` (MariaDB) or `json` (MySQL) column type
+- **Serialization**: Automatic conversion between .NET objects and JSON strings
+- **Type Support**: Full support for complex types including arrays (`string[]`, `byte[]`, etc.)
+- **Performance**: Efficient read/write operations with proper type mapping
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### 1. Configure DbContext
+
+```csharp
+public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<
+    IdentityUser, 
+    IdentityRole, 
+    string,
+    IdentityUserClaim<string>,
+    IdentityUserRole<string>,
+    IdentityUserLogin<string>,
+    IdentityRoleClaim<string>,
+    IdentityUserToken<string>,
+    IdentityUserPasskey<string>>  // Add this!
+{
+    public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
+        : base(options)
+    {
+    }
+
+    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
+    {
+        base.OnModelCreating(builder);
+        
+        // Configure PassKey entity with JSON storage
+        builder.Entity<IdentityUserPasskey<string>>(b =>
+        {
+            b.HasKey(p => p.CredentialId);
+            b.ToTable("AspNetUserPasskeys");
+            b.Property(p => p.CredentialId).HasMaxLength(1024);
+            b.OwnsOne(p => p.Data).ToJson();  // This enables JSON storage!
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Services
+
+```csharp
+services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
+    options.UseMySql(connectionString, serverVersion)
+);
+
+services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>()
+    .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
+    .AddDefaultTokenProviders();
+```
+
+### 3. Use PassKeys
+
+Once configured, you can use PassKeys with ASP.NET Core Identity's standard APIs:
+
+```csharp
+// Register a new passkey
+var passkey = new IdentityUserPasskey<string>
+{
+    UserId = user.Id,
+    CredentialId = credentialIdBytes,
+    Data = new IdentityPasskeyData
+    {
+        PublicKey = publicKeyBytes,
+        Name = "My Security Key",
+        Transports = new[] { "usb", "nfc", "ble" },  // string[] works!
+        CreatedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
+        // ... other properties
+    }
+};
+
+context.Set<IdentityUserPasskey<string>>().Add(passkey);
+await context.SaveChangesAsync();
+
+// Query passkeys
+var userPasskeys = await context.Set<IdentityUserPasskey<string>>()
+    .Where(p => p.UserId == userId)
+    .ToListAsync();
+```
+
+## Tested With
+
+- ✅ .NET 10.0.101
+- ✅ Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore 10.0.1
+- ✅ Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql (current version)
+- ✅ MySqlConnector 2.5.0
+- ✅ MariaDB 11.6.2
+- ✅ MySQL 8.0+
+
+## Complete Sample
+
+See `samples/PassKeyTest` for a complete, runnable example that demonstrates:
+- Database creation
+- PassKey insertion with complex data
+- Data retrieval and verification
+- JSON structure validation
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Column Type**: The `Data` column is created as:
+   - `longtext` on MariaDB (which supports JSON validation)
+   - `json` on MySQL 8.0+
+
+2. **Array Support**: Non-primitive types like `string[]` are fully supported and correctly serialized as JSON arrays
+
+3. **JSON Validation**: Both MariaDB and MySQL validate the JSON structure, ensuring data integrity
+
+4. **Query Support**: You can query JSON fields using database-specific JSON functions:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(Data, '$.Transports') FROM AspNetUserPasskeys;
+   ```
+
+## Migration from Other Providers
+
+If you're migrating from a different MySQL provider (like MySQL.EntityFrameworkCore) that doesn't support PassKeys:
+
+1. Update your package reference to Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql
+2. Configure the DbContext as shown above
+3. Create and apply migrations
+4. Your PassKey data will work immediately!
