Passkey is a new authentication method based on the WebAuthn and FIDO2 standards. It allows users to register and log in to systems without needing a password. Instead, users utilize biometric data or a PIN on their device to create and use a private key stored securely on the device.
In this project, I will build the backend for this passkey authentication system. The goal is to build a secure, passwordless authentication system compatible with both mobile devices and desktop computers in Nillion Network
