Passkeys, using the WebAuthn protocol, replace passwords with stronger, simpler, and phishing-resistant authentication using your device's built-in security or a dedicated hardware key. This session provides a practical introduction to passkey authentication and its implementation in Core applications. We'll explore the fundamentals of passkeys and the underlying public key cryptography. Then, we'll demonstrate how to integrate passkey authentication into your projects, supporting OS management, password managers (like 1Password), and hardware security keys (like a Yubikey). Watch this talk if you want to get a thorough understanding of passkeys and the skills to integrate them into your applications. 🎥 See more from .NET Conf: 🔗 Links: .NET 10 — The most intelligent and unified .NET yet: .NET Aspire 13 — Simplified orchestration for cloud-native apps: Core 10 — Modern, secure, and full-stack web development: .NET MAUI 10 — Build beautiful apps on every platform: C# 14 — A more expressive and productive language: F# 10 — Safer, faster, and more functional than ever: Visual Studio 2026 — Faster, smarter, and built for the future: 🎙️ Featuring: Maarten Balliauw (@maartenballiauw) Connect with .NET: Blog: Twitter: TikTok: Mastodon: LinkedIn: Facebook: Docs: Forums: 🙋‍♀️Q&A: 👨‍🎓Microsoft Learn: #dotnet #dotnetconf
