HCS.Passwordless.WebAuthn

WebAuthn / FIDO2 passkey add-on for HCS.Passwordless. Enables hardware-backed biometric or security-key authentication for Umbraco members using the browser's Credential Management API.

Requirements

  • Umbraco 17.3.5 or later ([17.3.5, 18.0.0))
  • A browser that supports WebAuthn (all modern browsers)
  • HCS.Passwordless.Core is pulled in automatically as a transitive dependency

Installation

dotnet add package HCS.Passwordless.WebAuthn

Setup

1. Register (Program.cs)

builder.CreateUmbracoBuilder()
    .AddBackOffice()
    .AddWebsite()
    .AddPasswordlessWebAuthn()
    .Build();

2. Configure (appsettings.json)

{
  "HCS": {
    "Authentication": {
      "WebAuthn": {
        "Enabled": true,
        "RpName": "My Site",
        "Origins": [ "https://example.com" ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Origins must exactly match the origin of the site as seen by the browser, including scheme and port.

3. Add passkey UI partials

@* Sign-in *@
@await Html.PartialAsync("Passwordless/PasskeySignInButton")

@* On a member profile/settings page: *@
@await Html.PartialAsync("Passwordless/PasskeyRegisterButton")
@await Html.PartialAsync("Passwordless/PasskeyCredentialList")

Configuration Options

HCS:Authentication:WebAuthn

Key Type Default Description
Enabled bool false Enable/disable WebAuthn flow
RpName string Umbraco Site Relying party display name shown to the user
Origins string[] [] Allowed origins (must match browser origin exactly)

Endpoints

Method Path Description
POST /auth/webauthn/register/options Get registration challenge
POST /auth/webauthn/register/complete Complete credential registration
POST /auth/webauthn/signin/options Get authentication challenge
POST /auth/webauthn/signin/complete Complete authentication and sign in
GET /auth/webauthn/credentials List member's registered credentials
PATCH /auth/webauthn/credentials/{id} Rename a credential
DELETE /auth/webauthn/credentials/{id} Remove a credential

Database Migration

The package adds a MemberCredential table to the Umbraco database via Umbraco's migration system. This runs automatically on startup.

Security Notes

  • Challenge state is stored in distributed cache and is single-use.
  • Counter regression (a credential reporting a lower sign-count than previously recorded) triggers a PasskeyCounterRegressionNotification so the site can alert the member of a potential cloned authenticator.
  • WebAuthn requires HTTPS in production. localhost is allowed for development.
