Last week felt like I finally understand how webauthn and passkeys work - now my auth server has a "passwordless" login flow https://github.com/authcompanion/authcompanion2

Was there anything in particular that made this click for you? If you have any resources to share I'd love to see them.

Guide to Web Authentication - https://webauthn.guide/

I started on the abstraction level with SimpleWebAuthn and implemented a POC to get a sense of the general flow: https://simplewebauthn.dev/docs/simplewebauthn/philosophy

hope that helps
