How to replace unsafe passwords with passkeys? Let us build an Android app to investigate this fancy technology...
Passwords. Or two factors? What about multiple factors? Which email did you register with? Why is 'password123' not working on this side, that is password is shared everywhere else?
If you recognize some of those questions, I am happy to add another couple: What are passkeys? Or how about: How to use passkeys to replace passwords in an Android app?
In this workshop I will walk through the later two questions: How to build an Android App that registers and signs users in, using passkeys. Expect a quick explanation of this fancy new technology, why it will replace passwords and how you can store them either on your mobile devices or on dedicated hardware. Following that, a fictive application and service will be built to show you how to use those passkeys and which moving pieces you will need.
Expect to use you Android Studio with Kotlin and common best practices to build an Android app, talking to the public available backend.
