For example, a new user accesses your application from an iPhone they are able to create a new account and login using FaceId. This deep dive shows you how to use the Web Authentication Protocol, Passkeys and the Spring Security Authorization Server to implement such functionality.

Recently Google, Microsoft, and Apple introduced Passkeys as the preferred passwordless authentication technology based on FIDO and WebAuthn. In the workshop we will cover everything you need to know to understand how the WebAuthenticaiton, Passkey, FIDO2 protocols works and how to implement it using Spring Security and Spring Authorization Server. A git repo with highly commented code showing implementation will be provided.
