The end of forgotten passwords - Biometric Authentication
summary
A presentation about replacing passwords with browser-based passkeys using the Web Authentication API and a Passkeys layer to create per-device public/private keys with challenge–response registration and login. The implementation uses OS keychain biometrics via an SDK (Passage/1Password), stores tokens client-side (localStorage), and has server-side signature verification, key revocation, and avoids transmitting plaintext biometric data to reduce phishing and credential-stuffing risks.
