Look inside
Your task as an analyst for the Sitting Duck Shipping company is to enable FIDO2 (WebAuthn and CTAP). To do that, you’ll configure the learner’s hardware as the authenticator and configure WordPress to accept WebAuthn authentication. By implementing biometric authentication, you’ll bring a new level of security and satisfaction to the login experience for the company’s users.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
