Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Preview: WebAuthn / Passkeys support for OpenACS (passwordless login)

The button doesn't appear yet.
I sent the report and the diag_id Is 7103DE6A7F77A045BE2E4CA420BCB9A83

Thanks — your diagnostics show WebAuthn works, so this looks like a cached login JavaScript issue (the updated JavaScript file was not fetched from the server). I’ve updated the login page to force a fresh download of passkey-login.js;

Could you please go to the login page again and check whether the “Sign in with passkey” button appears now?

Great! Now it works perfectly.
Many thanks!

Claudio

Dear Claudio,

great to hear — thanks for testing and for your patience!

Part of the issue turned out to be a cached JavaScript file in the browser; after a refresh, things behaved as expected. We’ve also improved the package by adding a Passkey diagnostics link directly next to the passkey management on /pvt/home, so it’s easier to collect useful information if something doesn’t work.

We’re still looking into further improvements around the visibility of the “Sign in with passkey” button, especially on systems without passkey discovery.

Thanks again for helping to shake this out!
