  • webauthn

    Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials

  • Passwords, as great as they have been, have some setbacks, both for users and developers. Applications users tend to always worry about passwords being stolen by phishing tools, or their passwords being leaked online when used on compromised websites. Aside this, they also have to worry about creating and remembering passwords even in contemporary times when password management tools are prevalent. At the flip side of it, Developers have to worry about all the complications of passing passwords through systems and safely storing them in databases. All these, among others, prompted W3C and FIDO as well as other tech juggernauts such as Google, Mozilla, Microsoft and Yubico to put forward a new authentication paradigm which allows biometric and other cryptographic means to authenticate users. It is aptly known as WebAuthn.
