fido2-net-lib VS vaultwarden

There are c# libs with examples you can look at

The core technology behind passwordless.dev is actually open source.

The repositories are great, and fido2me uses a customized version of this project.

Hello HN!

I’m a developer and I’ve spent the last 5 years building an open source library for WebAuthn (the tech behind Passkeys) called fido2-net-lib [0].

To make adoption even easier (and the workload sustainable) we built an API [1] that really makes the technology easy to adopt and accessible within minutes.

I’ve managed to get both some free and paid customers but I’m struggling with finding an efficient marketing channel/strategy.

I’m here asking for your help. I need all the advice I can get. What can I do to onboard more users and customers?

To people who want to self-host this, look at Vaultwarden which is a fully compatible alternate server with even more features:

Been running it for a year with 0 issues.

For passwords and 2FA I use Bitwarden in combination with a self-hosted Vaultwarden service (for imcreased security and use of pro features for free).

Vaultwarden as Password-Safe

I have a lot of software that I host myself on my home server, partly to save money but also because I want to control my own data. For example, I host VaultWarden which is the open source server for BitWarden. This gives me all the premium features for free with the added bonus of keeping my passwords out of the cloud.

Self hosting is incredibly easy with vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)

I have now switched to using the BitWarden app with the self-hosted VaultWarden server. I have set it up, so my passwords are only accessible when connected to my home network either physically or with a VPN (I am using tailscale for this).
