Universal Passkeys for Developers
All devices. Any protocol. Zero shared secrets.
This is the repository for Beyond Identity's Developer Documentation site.
Check out our getting started guide: https://developer.beyondidentity.com/docs/v1/getting-started
Beyond Identity helps developers deploy the strongest authentication primitives on the planet, eliminating shared secrets for customers, employees, and contractors.
Unique to Beyond Identity, shared secrets are eliminated for sign-up, login, and recovery. For customers, they never have to type a password, enter a code, click a push notification, or pick up a second device at all for authentication across all devices.
In addition to the fact that authentication is multi-factor by default, Beyond Identity also delivers real-time user and device risk signals that you can leverage to implement risk-based access controls that prompt for step-up authentication in scenarios you deem to be higher risk.
Backed by a cloud-native architecture, our platform was built for enterprise workloads. All SDKs use industry-standard protocols (OIDC/OAuth2.0) and include a sample app.
We believe public private key pairs are fundamentally, a better way to authenticate users (and machines!).
In order to fully address challenges of customer authentication, any solution must be:
- Secure: multi-factor with zero reliance on shared secrets or phishable factors
- Easy to use: frictionless with no need for second devices or complicated steps
- Universal across applications and devices: consistent experience across native and web apps on any device
- Simple for developers to integrate: to reduce engineering workload so developers can work on their core product instead of authentication
The only solution that met the above requirements was an authentication framework built off of public-private key pairs.
While we’re not the first to solve the problem with asymmetric cryptography, the existing solutions today fall short given the lack of cross-platform interoperability, and the friction presented to users.
