Enable Passwordless Login using Biometrics (WebAuthn and Auth0)

Note: This video was originally published on July 30, 2021.

Want to know how to provide your users the BEST login experience possible? Well, in this video, I'm going to show you how to use Device Biometrics as part of your login flow to let users login WITHOUT a password.

We'll quickly cover what is WebAuthn and how it works. We'll discuss the two different authentication methods: roaming authenticators like Yubikeys and platform authenticators like Device Biometrics. We'll end by showing you how to enable passwordless login using your fingerprint for your applications.

You can follow our Developer Lab on "WebAuthn with Biometrics" with any of our client application code samples.

We also have a series of SPA code samples that you can use:

Thanks. I would appreciate if you remove the music in the next video as it hides your voice and distracts the listeners.
