Dozens of times a day, we identify ourselves online.
But as the nearly 10 billion leaked accounts documented by ';--have i been pwned? attest, this process has a fatal weaknesspasswords.
The Web Authentication API (or WebAuthn) is a standard from the W3C and FIDO that "allows servers to register and authenticate users using public key cryptography instead of a password". WebAuthn is part of a set of standards that enable passwordless authentication between servers, browsers, and authenticators. It's supported in all modern browsers.
