A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

1/ Onboard users via passkeys 🔑

Login with Face ID is one of the best ways to balance security and UX for your app. Passkeys make this possible.

This standard has come a long way over the years, and we're excited to start rolling out passkey-based login to Privy customers!

2/ With today's launch, you can allow users to link passkeys to their accounts, and log in with them from there!

Biometrics for login are seamless and secure making passkeys a rare win/win for security and UX 🔒

Data privacy on the web. Keeper of the fabric @privy.

Fmr Protocol Labs consensus work. Before that YC S14 🇫🇷🌐🍊

3/ We're excited to see many browsers / operating systems embrace passkeys but we also recognize they're not yet a silver bullet.

They can be tricky to use cross-device and they're not supported on all browsers. This can lead to account loss in ~10% of cases if implemented naively.

4/ This is where Privy comes in!

We’ve worked hard to identify and stamp out edge cases, so your users get the benefits of this exciting technology, without the potential of reaching a dead end they could not have foreseen when they signed up.

5/ Users are not one size fits all, and we know account value fluctuates over time.

Accordingly, we’ve taken care to build a system that can scale with your users' journey. To prevent account lockout, passkey login users always have a fallback sign in method.

6/ If Privy can help you add passkeys login to your app on mobile or web, we'd love to support you. You can get started today at http://privy.io.

Check out our demo (http://demo.privy.io) to try this out, and stay tuned for more!
