WebAuthn Authentication Support in Tiki using Passkeys
Introduced in Tiki 29.
Passkeys offer a modern, secure, and passwordless way to log into your Tiki site. Instead of remembering complex passwords, you can use your device’s built-in authentication—like fingerprint, face recognition, or a PIN—to sign in quickly and safely.
What Are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a new type of login credential based on public key cryptography. They’re:
- Phishing-resistant: No secrets are shared with the server.
- Easy to use: Authenticate with biometrics or device PIN.
- Cross-platform: Sync across devices via services like iCloud or Google Password Manager.
Why Use Passkeys in Tiki?
- Stronger security than traditional passwords.
- Faster login experience for users.
- No need to remember passwords or reset them.
- Works with major browsers and platforms (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS).
