web-authn with localsend?

[ghost]

Hi everyone.

Would it be possible to authenticate devices through the browser with web-authn along with the local send protocol locally?

What do you all think of the idea of adding web-authn to localsend?

what is web-authn?
WebAuthn is the API standard that allows servers, applications, websites, and other systems to manage and verify registered users with passwordless authentication such as a biometric or possession-based device authenticator.

Currently, there is no authentication process, only "Accept" or "Decline" so I don't know. How should the workflow look like in your opinion?

Hi Tienisto.

Currently, there is no authentication process, only "Accept" or "Decline" so I don't know.

thank you for feedback here.

How should the workflow look like in your opinion?

• I would like to verify the device through biometrics and/or a password generated to click on the device.
• Things like Bluetooth have a feature of verifying the connection to the device through an autogenerated and temporary password.
• In my opinion, this is a good workflow for localsend: biometrics and/or autogenerated and temporary password for verifying the connection to the device.

what do you think of this idea: biometrics and/or autogenerated and temporary password for verifying the connection to the device?

Hi.

There is a library called: react-native-touch-id - that's exactly it, the touch id serves to validate things. This image above is the touch-id. For example,

With the touch-id it would be possible to validate the file at each connection or when a connection is initiated either with something biometric or password.
