WebAuthn Insights

What is WebAuthn?

WebAuthn (Web Authentication) is a web standard for password-less authentication using public-key cryptography. It allows users to authenticate to web applications and services using hardware security keys (like YubiKeys), platform authenticators (like fingerprint sensors or face recognition on laptops and smartphones), or other secure methods built into their devices. It provides a more secure and user-friendly alternative to traditional passwords.
