This is only for use with signin. Passkey is not currently supported for registration.
Summary
This hook provides a way for clients to sign-in to Dynamic using a passkey. The hook needs to be initialized within a child of DynamicContextProvider.Usage
Available methods:signInWithPasskey
: Sign in to Dynamic by calling the function returned from this hook. This will automatically set the logged-in Dynamicuser
when successful.
Usage
Prerequisites
Before using this hook, ensure that:- Passkey Authentication is Enabled as an authentication method.
-
Domain Configuration: For production use, your domain must be properly configured for WebAuthn. This includes:
- HTTPS protocol (required for passkeys)
- Proper domain registration in your Dynamic environment settings
- User Has Registered Passkey: The user must have previously registered a passkey with your application. If they haven’t, they’ll need to register one first using the Dynamic widget or appropriate registration flow.
- Browser Support: Ensure the user’s browser supports WebAuthn. Most modern browsers support passkeys, but you may want to add feature detection.
Important Notes
Domain Scope: Passkeys are scoped to top-level domains. A passkey created on
app.example.com
will work on example.com
and shop.example.com
, but will require a new registration for app.different.com
.Browser Compatibility: While most modern browsers support passkeys, always implement fallback authentication methods for broader compatibility.
First-Time Users: Users who haven’t registered a passkey will need to complete the registration process before they can use this sign-in method. Consider providing clear instructions or alternative authentication options.
