Important

Building a SvelteKit app? Run pnpm create @passlock/sveltekit and follow the prompts. The CLI wizard will create a skeleton app with support for passkeys, social login, CRUD operations and much more. Choose from Daisy UI, Preline or Shadcn templates. For more details please see the starter app's README

Features

Passkeys and the WebAuthn API are quite complex. I've taken an opinionated approach to simplify things for you. Following the 80/20 principle, I've tried to focus on the features most valuable to developers and users.

1. 🔐 Primary or secondary authentication - 2FA or a complete replacement for passwords

2. 🚀 Social login - Supporting Apple & Google. GitHub coming soon..

3. ☝🏻 Biometrics - Frictionless facial or fingerprint recognition for your webapps

4. 🖥️ Management console - Suspend users, disable or revoke passkeys and more..

5. 🕵️ Audit trail - View a full audit trail for each user

6. 🖥️ Dev console - Something not working? check the web console for details

7. 👌 Headless components - You have 100% control over the UI

Usage

Tip

SvelteKit users - Whilst this library is framework agnostic, SvelteKit users may want to check out the @passlock/sveltekit wrapper This offers several enhancements, including UI components, form action helpers and Superforms support.

Use this library to generate a secure token, representing passkey registration or authentication. Send the token to your backend for verification (see below)

Register a passkey

import { Passlock, PasslockError } from '@passlock/client'

// you can find these details in the settings area of your Passlock console
const tenancyId = '...'
const clientId = '...'

const passlock = new Passlock({ tenancyId, clientId })

// to register a new passkey, call registerPasskey(). We're using placeholders for 
// the user data. You should grab this from an HTML form, React store, Redux etc.
const [email, givenName, familyName] = ["jdoe@gmail.com", "John", "Doe"]

// Passlock doesn't throw but instead returns a union: result | error
const result = await passlock.registerPasskey({ email, givenName, familyName })

// ensure we're error free
if (!PasslockError.isError(result)) {
  // send the token to your backend (json/fetch or hidden form field etc)
  console.log('Token: %s', result.token)
}

Authenticate using a passkey

import { Passlock, PasslockError } from '@passlock/client'

const tenancyId = '...'
const clientId = '...'

const passlock = new Passlock({ tenancyId, clientId })
const result = await passlock.authenticatePasskey()

if (!PasslockError.isError(result)) {
  // send the token to your backend for verification
  console.log('Token: %s', result.token)
}

Backend verification

Verify the token and obtain the passkey registration or authentication details. You can make a simple GET request to https://api.passlock.dev/{tenancyId}/token/{token} or use the @passlock/node library:

import { Passlock } from '@passlock/node'

// API Keys can be found in your passlock console
const passlock = new Passlock({ tenancyId, apiKey })

// token comes from your frontend
const principal = await passlock.fetchPrincipal({ token })

// get the user id
console.log(principal.user.id)
