Description

This talk explores the state-of-the-art technology of Passkeys, which extends the Web Authentication API to allow users to log in to new devices using a key stored on their current device. Supported by major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, Passkeys offer a faster and safer login experience by eliminating the need for usernames and passwords, thereby enhancing security and resistance to phishing attacks. The presentation will cover what Passkeys are, their security benefits, and demonstrate how to integrate them into existing Django projects with minimal code changes.
