Going Passwordless - A Practical Guide to Passkeys in ASP.NET Core

Talkat NDC London 2026 · 2026-01-26..01-30· [security, web-platform]

Passkeys replace passwords using the WebAuthn protocol and demonstrations use WebAuthn with navigator.credentials flows, a Blazor app on .NET 10 and ASP.NET Core Identity (server calls return JSON options, validate signatures via signinManager.PasskeySignIn). The demo shows cross‑device sign‑in (phone over Bluetooth), browser/password‑manager sync, and that the template still creates an initial password so true passwordless requires removing it. Note operational details: navigator.credentials.create & get, challenges kept in a two‑factor cookie, and database requires schema version 3.
