Adopted by leading tech companies and a growing range of industries, passkeys are rapidly becoming the gold standard for secure and user-friendly authentication.
Removing passwords entirely is paving the way to a safer and quicker passwordless login. For developers working with Auth0, integrating passkeys is a game-changer for login and registration processes.
Our Auth0 passkey guide looks at the benefits of Auth0 passkeys, how they work, and how you can implement OwnID's solution and add passkeys to Auth0 for a truly passwordless login experience.
Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method leveraging public key cryptography to validate a user's identity. When a passkey is created, the user's device generates a pair of cryptographic keys: one private, stored securely on the user's device, and one public, which is stored with the provider.
During login, the authentication process, the user is prompted to unlock their device using a biometric method (such as a fingerprint or facial recognition) or a trusted PIN. This unlock mechanism confirms the user's presence and triggers the private key stored on the device to sign a unique challenge sent by the server. The private key itself is never shared or transmitted.
This approach is resistant to phishing, credential stuffing, and other common attacks that normally come with traditional passwords. Passkeys work seamlessly across devices with the facilitation of specifications such as FIDO2 and WebAuthn.
Auth0 is a flexible, secure platform that provides authentication and authorization services for applications. It allows developers to provide secure user access for their apps, from the traditional username-password to passwordless logins with passkeys.
Integrating passkeys with Auth0 apps offers a range of advantages to both businesses and users:
By choosing Auth0 passkeys, businesses can provide a highly advanced authentication option that meets the highest security standards and is user-friendly.
