# Passkeys on Ente
Passkeys is a colloquial term for a relatively new authentication standard called [WebAuthn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn). Now rolled out to all major browsers and operating systems, it uses asymmetric cryptography to authenticate the user with a server using replay-attack resistant signatures. These processes are usually abstracted from the user through biometric prompts, such as Touch ID/Face ID/Optic ID, Fingerprint Unlock and Windows Hello. These passkeys can also be securely synced by major password managers, such as Bitwarden and 1Password, although the syncing experience can greatly vary due to some operating system restrictions.

## Registering a WebAuthn credential
### Requesting publicKey options (begin)
The registration ceremony starts in the browser. When the user clicks the "Add new passkey" button, a request is sent to the server for "public key" creation options. Although named "public key" options, they actually define customizable parameters for the entire credential creation process. They're like an instructional sheet that defines exactly what we want. As of the creation of this document, the plan is to restrict user authenticators to cross-platform ones, like hardware keys.

The registration ceremony starts in the browser. When the user clicks the "Add
new passkey" button, a request is sent to the server for "public key" creation
options. Although named "public key" options, they actually define customizable

On the server side, the WebAuthn library generates this information based on data provided from a `webauthn.User` interface. As a result, we satisfy this interface by creating a type with methods returning information from the database. Information stored in the database about credentials are all pre-processed using base64 where necessary.

### Creating the credential
We use `navigator.credentials.create` with these options to generate the credential. At this point, the user will see a prompt to decide where to save this credential, and probably a biometric authentication gate depending on the platform.

Passkeys have been integrated into the existing two-factor ceremony. When logging in via SRP or verifying an email OTT, the server checks if the user has any number of credentials setup or has 2FA TOTP enabled. If the user has setup at least one credential, they will be served a `passkeySessionID` which will initiate the authentication ceremony.
