While #WebAuthn is an important tool, it is always important to remember that #security should be incorporated into every step of how software is designed and developed
The #WebAuthn API helps to eliminate passwords entirely. #Webauthn can be used both in single factor and multi-factor authentication schema. See different usage demos at webauthn.io/
As passwords can be insecure or hard to remember, #developers have also to worry about all the complications of passing passwords through systems and safely storing them in databases (about 81% of all hacking-related breaches leverage stolen or weak #passwords)
The Web Authentication #API (also known as #WebAuthn) allows servers to register and authenticate users using public key #cryptography instead of a #password
#WebAuthn enables strong authentication using securely-held public keys with user content, rather than #passwords - given how fragile passwords are, this is a pretty big deal.
