Next up: The World of Passkeys

Hi there y'all!
Happy Friday to all who celebrate!

My next post is about Passkeys!
Have you heard about it?! Do you know what it is?
Do you have questions about it?!

So, I've gotten to know what this is about a month or two ago when I stumbled upon an article saying Google has enabled usage of Passkeys on Gmail!

A few weeks or maybe a month later, a ruby-passkeys gem showed up on my social/tech radar! It was the first public release candidate (or something along this nature).

So that was it: that is all I needed to get started on it.
So, I've done some research, spent about 1 month (not full time) studying and reading about it, started contributing with the Ruby-Passkeys gem, wrote & presented a meetup talk, setup and run a demo on my laptop, and here I am!

So, my goal now is to write a post about it.
If you have any question or want to know something about Passkeys, please send it my way (https://ruby.social/@hacrods), and I will try to answer.

Disclaimer: I am no expert in the matter, but if I don't know the answer to any of your questions I will study and read more to try to find an answer, and if I still fail, I will gently let you know (and keep tabs on that question!)! :D

If you want to start learning about it, I'd suggest you start here: https://passkeys.dev/

See y'all!

Great topic! I've been working on passkey for several months now (though not on the ruby lib). Anyways, if you need support or have technical implementation questions, also about fallback flows - I'm happy to help :)

Thank you @vdelitz .
I've wrote an P2P user validation app using passkeys and got 2nd place in an AML/CFT Hackathon!
This is a Ruby app, using github.com/ruby-passkeys/devise-pa... .

I want to checkout Corbado for a while now!
But first I need to write this blog post!
