See this post about renaming the package.
Passwordless authentication for Phoenix LiveView applications.
Description
I am happy to announce public availability of WebAuthnComponents, an implementation of passwordless authentication designed for LiveView applications.
As Passkey support is rolled out to operating systems, browsers, and credential managers, WebAuthnComponents will allow you to easily add passwordless authentication to greenfield and brownfield applications.
This package is released as part of my talk at ElixirConf 2022. As of September 1, 2022, it is in an early alpha stage, and I am looking for feedback from early adopters. See the readme for caveats and plans for v1.

The presentation was great. Cant wait to test this out

Thank you @andreaseriksson! I’ll be updating documentation over the weekend so it’s clear what schemas and code you need to get things up and running.

Is there a recording of your talk?
I would like to see. Tried searching on Youtube to no avail.
type1fool
The virtual talks were uploaded to the ElixirConf YouTube channel recently, and I suspect the in-person talks will be uploaded in the next few weeks. Until then, they’re only available through Vito with a paid pass.

Surprise! The video was uploaded just a couple hours ago.

I’m so lucky, I started searching at such a time with so many coincidences.
I’m surprised!!!
Thank you, will watch it today.
I watched it. It’s awesome.
I will use it tonight.

Great talk! It’s nice to see Wax being used in such a neat way
Note that I’ve released some very needed
wax_updates recently:Using discoverable credentials (resident keys) is now supported. That enables loginless login:
wax_demohas been updated accordingly.type1fool
Excellent! I’ll update Wax and check out the new features.

Now that the talk is publicly available, and life events have simmered down, I will be working on updates to the Hex package. I hope to have a new version within a week.

Phoenix 1.7 rc is out as well. Perhaps now you can update the LiveView to 0.18 and remove those commented out slots you have in your LiveComponent.
Maybe even try out the
gen.auth.live, because It would be awesome if yourWebAuthnLiveComponentcan play nice with the generated code.Also checkout
phx_live_storybook! It would be great if the component you make is presentable in that view, because it will eventually get added to Phoenix 1.7 and It would be great to see running components in Storybook mode. As it makes it easy to explore.Yesterday I searched around the Git repo for the component, unable to find any documentation or example code to run the WebAuthn component.
What’s better than a running live documentation inside Storybook.
