by dhruvtek

Curious to know what ya'll think about passwordless user experiences? Not just magic links but also Webauthn(browser biometrics), etc.

    Hey @dhruvtek, my team has been using https://go.getentry.com/indie for a while. It allows configuring SSO for many popular apps (e.g. gSuite, Zoom etc). Login / signup experience is pretty smooth - I need to use webcam and move my head slightly

    I'm a big fan. I use YubiKeys everywhere and usually have a pretty seamless experience and have been positively surprised by the passwordless offerings from sites like Medium and Microsoft.

      Oh thats so good to know! Have you ever tried WebAuthn? Its a protocol that allows devs to add device biometrics to websites! Love the experience it provides

        Yup YubiKeys are usable as FIDO2 authenticators for WebAuthn.
