## 2\. Implementation Standard of 2026: SimpleWebAuthn

Implementing WebAuthn used to be extremely difficult due to the option hell of `navigator.credentials.create` and binary data conversion processes.

However, now, the TypeScript library **SimpleWebAuthn** has become the de facto standard, making implementation surprisingly easy.

### Server Side (Registration)

First, the process when a user "registers a Passkey".

```
import { generateRegistrationOptions, verifyRegistrationResponse } from '@simplewebauthn/server';

// 1. Generate a challenge (random string) and send to client
app.get('/auth/register/start', async (c) => {
  const options = await generateRegistrationOptions({
    rpName: 'My Awesome App',
    rpID: 'my-app.com',
    userID: 'user-unique-id',
    userName: 'user@example.com',
  });
  
  // Challenge must be temporarily saved in session or DB
  await saveChallenge(options.challenge);
  
  return c.json(options);
});

// 2. Verify the signature from the client
app.post('/auth/register/finish', async (c) => {
  const { body } = await c.req.json();
  const currentChallenge = await getChallenge();

  const verification = await verifyRegistrationResponse({
    response: body,
    expectedChallenge: currentChallenge,
    expectedOrigin: 'https://my-app.com',
    expectedRPID: 'my-app.com',
  });

  if (verification.verified) {
    // Save Public Key and Counter to DB (This replaces the password)
    await savePublicKey(verification.registrationInfo);
    return c.json({ verified: true });
  }
});
```

### Client Side (Browser)

```
import { startRegistration } from '@simplewebauthn/browser';

async function registerPasskey() {
  // 1. Get options from server
  const resp = await fetch('/auth/register/start');
  const options = await resp.json();

  // 2. Launch browser's Passkey creation dialog (TouchID etc. activates)
  const attResp = await startRegistration(options);

  // 3. Send result to server
  await fetch('/auth/register/finish', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(attResp),
  });
}
```

That's all it takes. The library and browser absorb all the cryptographic complexity.
