Online Tutorials for FIDO2 for ASP.NET

Looking to get started with FIDO2 for ASP.NET and WebAuthn? Rock Solid Knowledge has released 4 new online tutorials to help you implement our “FIDO2 for ASP.NET” component.

Using Biometrics in ASP.NET Core

Physical biometrics, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, are super useful when logging into mobile apps. It allows the user to prove their presence without having to manage a password or go through a Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) process. So why can't you use biometrics in the browser?

Strong Authentication Without the Drama

Confirmation of identity is central to all security decisions. A whole host of decisions are made based on a user proving who they are. Failing to successfully prove identity means the entire authorization system comes crashing down.

FIDO2 for ASP.NET Core - Solving the Password Problem

FIDO2 offers a replacement for passwords in the form of frictionless, possession-based authentication. Thanks to our newest component, FIDO2 for ASP.NET Core, this is now something Rock Solid Knowledge can help you with.

2FA All the Way

For over 30 years, we have used single passwords to verify identity, and we have known that they are vulnerable to a variety of attacks. Two-Factor authentication has been applied to strengthen the mechanism, but they often increase friction for the user, and can still be vulnerable to phishing attacks. The solution: FIDO2.
