This page contains the resources for the talk titled 'Passkeys: the future of user authentication'.
Abstract
User authentication has been a mess for ages. Attempts to fix it by adding more authentication factors might work, but is quite complex. But what if there's a world where we can replace this insecure first factor with single strong authentication mechanism? That's what passkeys promise to do!
This session will dive head-first into passkeys. We not only explore passkeys from a user's perspective and a developer's perspective, but we also look at the mechanics under the hood. By the end of this session, you will understand how passkeys work and will know how to use them in your applications.
