How the Web Authentication API Replaces Passwords
from The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo: Frontend, Backend, and Modern Web Stack Hosted by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna dive into the Web Authentication API (WebAuthn) and how it's finally making passwordless login practical. They break down the difference between passkeys and passwords, walk through a real example of how Apple and Google have baked in support, and explain why the era of 'correct horse battery staple' is ending. This isn't theoretical — over 70 percent of FIDO2 registrations now happen on mobile devices, and major sites like GitHub and PayPal already let you log in with a fingerprint instead of a typed password. They also touch on the security model: how public-key cryptography means your biometric data never leaves your device. By the end, you'll understand why WebAuthn is arguably the most important browser API most developers haven't yet implemented. #WebAuthn #Passkeys #WebAuthentication #FIDO2 #Passwordless #Cybersecurity #WebSecurity #APIs #Frontend #BrowserAPIs #PublicKeyCryptography #Apple #Google #GitHub #PayPal #Technology #FexingoTechnology #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
