Pythonic WebAuthn

py_webauthn

A Python3 implementation of the WebAuthn API focused on making it easy to leverage the power of WebAuthn.

This library supports all FIDO2-compliant authenticators, including security keys, Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, Android biometrics...and pretty much everything else.

Installation

This module is available on PyPI:

pip install webauthn

Usage

The library exposes just a few core methods on the root webauthn module:

• generate_registration_options()
• verify_registration_response()
• generate_authentication_options()
• verify_authentication_response()

Two additional helper methods are also exposed:

• options_to_json()
• base64url_to_bytes()

See examples/registration.py for practical examples of using generate_registration_options() and verify_registration_response().

You can also run these examples with the following:

# See "Development" below for venv setup instructions
venv $> python -m examples.registration

Authentication

See examples/authentication.py for practical examples of using generate_authentication_options() and verify_authentication_response().

You can also run these examples with the following:
