This feature is only available in an Essentials or Enterprise plan. Please visit our pricing page to learn more.
Overview
This API has been available since 1.41.0
This page contains all of the APIs for managing WebAuthn passkeys, sometimes referred to as credentials, and starting and completing WebAuthn ceremonies.
The following APIs are provided to manage WebAuthn passkeys.
WebAuthn Ceremonies
WebAuthn Registration Ceremony
WebAuthn Authentication Ceremony
Retrieve a Passkey
This API is used to retrieve information about a single WebAuthn passkey or all of a user’s registered passkeys.
Request
Retrieve a single Passkey by Id
GET /api/webauthn/{id}
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Parameters
- id [UUID] Required
-
The unique Id of the WebAuthn passkey to retrieve.
Retrieve all Passkeys belonging to a User
GET /api/webauthn/?userId={userId}
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Parameters
- userId [UUID] Required
-
The unique Id of the User to retrieve WebAuthn passkeys for.
Response
The response for this API contains either a single Passkey or all of the Passkeys belonging to a User. When you call this API with an Id, the response will contain just that Passkey. When you call this API without an Id and provide a User Id in the query string, the response will contain all of the Passkeys belonging to that User. Both response types are defined below along with an example JSON response.
Code | Description |
---|---|
200 |
The request was successful. The response will contain a JSON body. |
400 |
The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain an Errors JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present. |
401 |
You did not supply a valid Authorization header. The header was omitted or your API key was not valid. The response will be empty. See Authentication. |
404 |
The object you requested doesn’t exist. The response will be empty. |
500 |
There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty. |
503 |
The search index is not available or encountered an exception so the request cannot be completed. The response will contain a JSON body. |
Response Body
- credential.algorithm [Long]
-
The identifier for the signing algorithm used with the passkey. These values are defined by the IANA COSE Algorithms registry. FusionAuth supports a subset of these algorithms.

- credential.attestationType [String]
-
The type of attestation provided when the passkey was registered. Passkeys registered in FusionAuth will have a value of
none
. Imported passkeys may have another value. - credential.authenticatorSupportsUserVerification [Boolean]
-
Indicates whether this authenticator supports user verification. User verification ensures that the user is authorized to use the authenticator.
This value is currently determined by whether user verification occurred during the registration of this passkey rather than by other means, such as examining FIDO authenticator metadata.
- credential.credentialId [String]
-
The credential Id generated by the authenticator is stored as a base64url-encoded string. This value is used by authenticators to look up a passkey during an authentication ceremony and to prevent multiple passkeys from being registered on the same authenticator for a single user.
- credential.data [Object]
-
An object that can hold any information about the passkey that should be persisted.
- credential.discoverable [Boolean]
-
Indicates whether the passkey is "client-side discoverable." Discoverable passkeys can be used in authentication ceremonies without first identifying the user (e.g. by requiring the user to complete a form field).
- credential.displayName [String]
-
The display name for the passkey selected during registration. This value should have been selected by the user.
- credential.id [UUID]
-
The unique identifier for this passkey.
- credential.insertInstant [Long]
-
The instant that the passkey was added to the FusionAuth database.
- credential.lastUseInstant [Long]
-
The instant that the passkey was last used to complete a WebAuthn ceremony.
- credential.name [String]
-
A unique name meant to disambiguate passkeys with the same credential.displayName.
- credential.publicKey [String]
-
The passkey’s public key, encoded in PEM format.
- credential.relyingPartyId [String]
-
The Relying Party Id used at the time the passkey was registered.
- credential.signCount [Integer]
-
A signature counter for the passkey. The signature count can be used by a Relying Party to identify a cloned or malfunctioning authenticator.
- credential.tenantId [UUID]
-
The Id of the tenant to which this passkey belongs.
- credential.transports [List<String>]
-
A list of transport types supported by the authenticator that generated the passkey. This value is used as a hint to help identify eligible authenticators during a WebAuthn ceremony.
FusionAuth treats the list of transports as strings to maximize authenticator compatibility. These values are used as hints during WebAuthn ceremonies and missing, extra, or unexpected values should not cause a ceremony to fail. Some common values are:
-
internal
- the authenticator is integrated with the client device -
usb
- the authenticator can be contacted over USB -
nfc
- the authenticator can be contacted over Near Field Communication (NFC) -
ble
- the authenticator can be contacted over Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE) -
cable
- "cloud-assisted" BLE. This transport is used for Android devices acting as an authenticator connected to the computer over Bluetooth -
hybrid
- replacement for thecable
transport
-
- credential.userAgent [String]
-
The user agent at the time the passkey was registered. This can be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
- credential.userId [UUID]
-
The Id of the user that this passkey belongs to.

- credentials
[x]
.userId [UUID] Required -
The Id of the user to which this passkey belongs.
- validateDbConstraints [Boolean] Optional defaults to
false
-
Set this value to
true
in order to perform additional validation of the request.The import request is intended to be used to migrate existing users' passkeys from one system to another, this means FusionAuth expects all user Ids from the request to exist for the provided tenant. If a non-existent user Id is encountered a
500
will be returned unless this field is set totrue
.In order to get additional details about database constraint violations on import, set this value to
true
and a400
response will be returned with a JSON body indicating the missing values encountered.Setting this value to
true
will dramatically decrease the performance of this request. If importing large numbers of passkeys in a single request you may need to increase request timeouts to ensure this request does not timeout before it has completed.

WebAuthn JavaScript API Binary Format
The WebAuthn JavaScript API navigator.credentials.create()
and navigator.credentials.get()
expect to receive fields containing binary data on the options
object as a JavaScript ArrayBuffer
and will return binary fields as ArrayBuffer
s. In order to prevent encoding issues on the FusionAuth API, these fields are passed over the network as base64url-encoded strings.
Select fields on the options
JSON object that is passed to the WebAuthn JavaScript API must be converted from base64url-encoded strings to ArrayBuffer
s after receiving options
from the FusionAuth API. Likewise, certain fields on WebAuthn JavaScript API responses must be converted from ArrayBuffer
s to base64url-encoded strings before calling FusionAuth’s APIs to complete the ceremony.
Converting base64url-encoded String to ArrayBuffer
Converting a base64url-encoded strings to ArrayBuffer
s is required before the options
JSON object from Start a WebAuthn Passkey Registration or Start a WebAuthn Passkey Assertion or Authentication responses are passed to the WebAuthn JavaScript API. The FusionAuth hosted pages will perform this conversion as necessary. If you need to perform this conversion yourself, you can use the following JavaScript function.
ArrayBuffer
function base64URLToBuffer(base64URL) {
const base64 = base64URL.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/');
const padLen = (4 - (base64.length % 4)) % 4;
return Uint8Array.from(atob(base64.padEnd(base64.length + padLen, '=')), c => c.charCodeAt(0));
}
Fields that require this conversion are documented in the Start a WebAuthn Passkey Registration and Start a WebAuthn Passkey Assertion or Authentication response sections.
Converting ArrayBuffer
to base64url-encoded String
Converting ArrayBuffer
s to base64url-encoded strings is required before the responses from the WebAuthn JavaScript APIs are sent to FusionAuth’s Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Registration, Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Authentication, or Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Assertion APIs. The FusionAuth hosted pages will perform this conversion as necessary. If you need to perform this conversion yourself, you can use the following JavaScript function.
ArrayBuffer
to a base64url-encoded string
function bufferToBase64URL(buffer) {
const bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer);
let string = '';
bytes.forEach(b => string += String.fromCharCode(b));
const base64 = btoa(string);
return base64.replace(/\+/g, '-').replace(/\//g, '_').replace(/=/g, '');
}
Fields that require this conversion are documented in the Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Registration, Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Authentication, and Complete a WebAuthn Passkey Assertion request sections.
Start a WebAuthn Passkey Registration
This API is used to start a WebAuthn registration ceremony by providing some details about the current user and the new passkey. The response is a JSON object which is suitable to be passed to the WebAuthn JavaScript API navigator.credentials.create()
function and includes a one-time challenge unique to the current registration ceremony.
Request
Start a WebAuthn Registration Ceremony and Retrieve Passkey Creation Options
POST /api/webauthn/register/start
Request Headers

Request Body
- displayName [String] Required
-
The primary display name for the new passkey.
- name [String] Optional defaults to [see description]
-
The optional name for the passkey. This is meant to disambiguate passkeys with the same displayName. When this parameter is omitted, it will be defaulted to the user’s email address. If the user does not have an email address, this parameter will be defaulted to their username instead.
Prior to version
1.42.0
name was defaulted to a random four character alphanumeric string.The passkey name is set at the time the passkey is registered. There is currently no way to change the name of the passkey. Prompts displayed by the WebAuthn JavaScript API will continue to display the original value at the time the passkey was registered even if the user updates their email address or username. In order to display the updated email or username the user must register a new passkey.
- userAgent [String] Optional
-
The user’s browser’s user agent string. This value is meant for troubleshooting issues with passkeys.
- userId [UUID] Required
-
The Id of the user registering the passkey.
- workflow [String] Required
-
The WebAuthn workflow this passkey is intended to be used with. Selecting the proper value will provide the best user experience by limiting the registration ceremony to authenticators which support the features needed for each workflow. The selected workflow will change the creation options on the response based on the tenant configuration. The possible values are:
-
bootstrap
- The passkey is intended for use with the bootstrap workflow, which requires the user to "bootstrap" the authentication process by identifying themselves prior to the WebAuthn ceremony and can be used to authenticate from a new device using WebAuthn. -
general
- The passkey is not intended for any particular workflow. This value will allow for the most flexible use of the new passkey. -
reauthentication
- The passkey is intended for use with the re-authentication workflow, which provides a streamlined user experience for repeated logins from the same device.

Complete a WebAuthn Authentication Ceremony
POST /api/webauthn/login
Request Headers
- X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional
-
The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Cookies
- fusionauth.trust [String] Optional
-
The Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled. When this cookie exists on the request it will take precedence over the twoFactorTrustId if provided in the request body.
Request Body
The credential in the request body contains data returned by the WebAuthn JavaScript API call. The credential.response.authenticatorData, credential.response.clientDataJSON, credential.response.signature, and credential.response.userHandle fields must be converted to base64url-encoded strings for the FusionAuth API request. See WebAuthn JavaScript API Binary Format for details.
- credential.clientExtensionResults [Object] Optional
-
The results for WebAuthn extensions requested during authentication. FusionAuth does not currently support any WebAuthn authentication extensions.
- credential.id [String] Required
-
A base64url-encoded version of the credential Id used by the authenticator for this ceremony.
- credential.rpId [String] Optional
-
If the tenant configuration overrides the Relying Party Id, this parameter should match tenant.webAuthnConfiguration.relyingPartyId, otherwise the value should be omitted from the request object.
- credential.response.authenticatorData [String] Required
-
The base64url-encoded authenticator data from the WebAuthn JavaScript API response, which includes information on the passkey used to complete the ceremony and other data important for validation. See Converting ArrayBuffer to base64url-encoded String for details on converting this value for the FusionAuth API request.
- credential.response.clientDataJSON [String] Required
-
The base64url-encoded client data from the WebAuthn JavaScript API response. This contains important information for the WebAuthn authentication validation process, including the one-time challenge generated when the registration ceremony began. See Converting ArrayBuffer to base64url-encoded String for details on converting this value for the FusionAuth API request.
- credential.response.signature [String] Required
-
The base64url-encoded signature from the WebAuthn JavaScript API response. The authenticator generates the signature using the selected passkey’s private key by signing over the binary concatenation of credential.response.authenticatorData and the SHA-256 hash of credential.response.clientDataJSON before they are converted to base64url-encoded strings. See Converting ArrayBuffer to base64url-encoded String for details on converting this value for the FusionAuth API request.
- credential.response.userHandle [String] Optional
-
The base64url-encoded user handle from the WebAuthn JavaScript API response. This field is only required when the user was not identified prior to the authentication ceremony through the use of a client-side discoverable passkey. See Converting ArrayBuffer to base64url-encoded String for details on converting this value for the FusionAuth API request.
- credential.type [String] Required
-
The credential type of the passkey. The only value supported by WebAuthn is
public-key
. - origin [String] Required
-
The browser request origin during the authentication ceremony. For example,
example.com
. - rpId [String] Required
-
If the tenant configuration overrides the Relying Party Id, this parameter should match tenant.webAuthnConfiguration.relyingPartyId, otherwise the value should be the browser request origin’s effective domain during the ceremony.
- twoFactorTrustId [String] Optional
-
The Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled.

- credential.attestationType [String]
-
The type of attestation provided when the passkey was registered. Passkeys registered in FusionAuth will have a value of
none
. Imported passkeys may have another value. - credential.authenticatorSupportsUserVerification [Boolean]
-
Indicates whether this authenticator supports user verification. User verification ensures that the user is authorized to use the authenticator.
This value is currently determined by whether user verification occurred during the registration of this passkey rather than by other means, such as examining FIDO authenticator metadata.
- credential.credentialId [String]
-
The credential Id generated by the authenticator is stored as a base64url-encoded string. This value is used by authenticators to look up a passkey during an authentication ceremony and to prevent multiple passkeys from being registered on the same authenticator for a single user.
- credential.data [Object]
-
An object that can hold any information about the passkey that should be persisted.
- credential.discoverable [Boolean]
-
Indicates whether the passkey is "client-side discoverable." Discoverable passkeys can be used in authentication ceremonies without first identifying the user (e.g. by requiring the user to complete a form field).
- credential.displayName [String]
-
The display name for the passkey selected during registration. This value should have been selected by the user.
- credential.id [UUID]
-
The unique identifier for this passkey.
- credential.insertInstant [Long]
-
The instant that the passkey was added to the FusionAuth database.
- credential.lastUseInstant [Long]
-
The instant that the passkey was last used to complete a WebAuthn ceremony.
- credential.name [String]
-
A unique name meant to disambiguate passkeys with the same credential.displayName.
- credential.publicKey [String]
-
The passkey’s public key, encoded in PEM format.
- credential.relyingPartyId [String]
-
The Relying Party Id used at the time the passkey was registered.
- credential.signCount [Integer]
-
A signature counter for the passkey. The signature count can be used by a Relying Party to identify a cloned or malfunctioning authenticator.
- credential.tenantId [UUID]
-
The Id of the tenant to which this passkey belongs.
- credential.transports [List<String>]
-
A list of transport types supported by the authenticator that generated the passkey. This value is used as a hint to help identify eligible authenticators during a WebAuthn ceremony.
FusionAuth treats the list of transports as strings to maximize authenticator compatibility. These values are used as hints during WebAuthn ceremonies and missing, extra, or unexpected values should not cause a ceremony to fail. Some common values are:
-
internal
- the authenticator is integrated with the client device -
