Introduction

After working with various authentication systems, I became fascinated with FIDO2 and WebAuthn’s potential for truly passwordless authentication.

Technical Implementation

Here’s how we implemented the core functionality:

func InitializeWebAuthn() *webauthn.WebAuthn {
    webAuthn, err := webauthn.New(&webauthn.Config{
        RPDisplayName: "Your App",
        RPID:         "yourdomain.com",
        RPOrigin:     "https://yourdomain.com",
    })
    // ... error handling
    return webAuthn
}

Key Features

  • WebAuthn protocol basics
  • Implementing credential management
  • Handling attestation and assertion

Security is not just about strong algorithms; it’s about creating a seamless user experience that encourages secure behavior.

Challenges and Solutions

  1. Browser Compatibility
  2. Mobile Support
  3. Error Handling
