Making authentication as safe yet frictionless as possible is a delicate challenge. Existing solutions like backup codes, email login links, SMS codes or security keys haven’t always worked across devices or browsers or use cases.
Luckily, the Web Authentication API aims to provide developers with a unified way to work with fingerprint sensors, security keys and the like on the basis of a standardised web API.
In this talk we will explore this new API, look at a few use cases like 2FA and password-less authentication and close with a look at how this API could benefit WordPress developers and users as well through the 2FA feature project.
