"It is easier, faster, and safer
to use Passkey Accounts™
than any other
authentication solution."

For the v0.0 April 1 milestone, interactive auth testing now lives on the focused widget development page.
Open Widget TestStory
Please understand that the logic behind Passkeys has been brewing for years and my lifelong passion for developing websites has led to a deep understanding of how to truly secure open web authentication. A lot can go wrong, which is why I'm very proud to offer years of knowledge capital into a ready-to-use auth provider that is well-thought-through.
Worst-case-scenario; (Passkey): Authentication remains safe.
Worst-case-scenario; (Traditional): Authentication can be compromised through several exploits.
Worst-case-scenario; (Roll-your-own): Complete failure, everything becomes compromised.
The well-thought-through security that goes into Passkey Accounts™ is worth billions.
I'm going to leverage my efforts to start a tech company that hires people. ❤️
Technical Summary
This authentication system is designed with a security-first, modern threat model in mind, prioritizing passkey-based, non-discoverable authentication over a persistent WebSocket connection to reduce attack surface and eliminate legacy password risks. It avoids client-side storage of secrets, ensuring no tokens or sensitive data can be exfiltrated from the browser, while all authentication events are bound to cryptographic, single-use challenges to prevent replay and phishing attacks. The architecture emphasizes strong transport security, strict origin controls, real-time audit logging, secure session lifecycle handling, and hardened server-side validation.
