Web Authentication

 Web Authentication

Web Authentication allows web applications to authenticate users using biometric or hardware-based security keys, such as fingerprint readers or USB keys. This can provide a stronger and more convenient alternative to traditional username/password authentication. The navigator.credentials API is used to manage and authenticate credentials.

Here's an example of how to use Web Authentication:

navigator.credentials.create({

  publicKey: {

    challenge: new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]),

    rp: {name: 'Example Corp'},

    user: {id: new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]), name: 'john@example.com', displayName: 'John Doe'},

    pubKeyCredParams: [{type: 'public-key', alg: -7}],

    authenticatorSelection: {userVerification: 'required'},

  }

}).then(credential => console.log(credential))

  .catch(error => console.error(error));
