Passkeys Libraries
Passkey implementation on its own is complicated. We provide you with a collection of passkeys libraries and passkeys SDKs to simplify the integration.
Frontend web components
Backend SDKs
REST APIs
What libraries & SDKs are needed for passkeys?
Frontend integration
Passkeys require frontend implementation as the user's device has to create passkeys and store private keys securely.
Backend integration
To handle authenticated requests, manage sessions and communicate with the WebAuthn server, a backend is needed.
Hosted WebAuthn server
Passkeys require a running WebAuthn server that handles the WebAuthn passkey creation and login ceremony.
