A FIDO2-conformant WebAuthn and passkey backend library for Go applications. It implements the Web Authentication specification to enable multi-factor, passwordless, or usernameless authentication flows.
Use cases
- add passkey login to a Go web app
- implement passwordless authentication in Go
- add WebAuthn as a second factor
- verify FIDO2 authenticator registration and assertion responses
- support usernameless sign-in flows
- implement multi-factor authentication with hardware security keys
When to choose
- you are building a Go backend and need standards-conformant WebAuthn/passkey support
- you want FIDO2 conformance-tested authentication
- you need passwordless or MFA login without third-party auth services
When to avoid
- your backend is not written in Go
- you need a fully managed hosted authentication service
- you require a stable 1.x API since the library is still version 0 with possible breaking changes
