.NET

This session provides a practical introduction to passkey authentication and its implementation in ASP.NET Core applications. We'll explore the fundamentals of passkeys and the underlying public key cryptography. Then, we'll demonstrate how to integrate passkey authentication into your projects, supporting OS management, password managers (like 1Password), and hardware security keys (like a Yubikey).

Join this talk if you want to get a thorough understanding of passkeys and the skills to integrate them into your applications.
