This project features two complimentary libraries to help reduce the amount of work needed to incorporate WebAuthn into a website. The following packages are maintained here:
SimpleWebAuthn can be installed from NPM and JSR in Node LTS 20.x and higher, Deno v1.43 and higher projects, and other compatible runtimes (Cloudflare Workers, Bun, etc...)
See the packages' READMEs for more specific installation information.
In-depth documentation for this project is available at https://simplewebauthn.dev/docs

Simple Authentication. Make login our problem. Not yours.
Simple, drop-in passkeys and MFA as a Service
For a practical guide to implementing these libraries, take a look at the example project. It includes a single-file Express server and a few HTML files that, combined with the packages in this repo, are close to all it takes to get up and running with WebAuthn.
The SimpleWebAuthn project is not currently open to external contributions.
