Project


This project implements an alternative to the typical username and password combination login system. Although a username and password are required to create an account and login in on new, unregistered devices in the future, after these initial sign ins, the user will be prompted for biometric authentication instead. This is a more secure system as it is much more difficult to hack into biometric systems than the stereotypical systems, especially as this limits the amount of time that any form of a text password is sent across a network.

This project was developed using a server written in Golang utilizing the WebAuthn library created by Duo Labs, and a frontend using HTML and almost entirely and vanilla JavaScript.


Development Site


This project was built and configured to run off of whisk.dev and can be tested by the public as such.
