Beginner
The Web Authentication API (a.k.a WebAuthn) is a specification written by the W3C and FIDO Alliance. The API allows servers to register and authenticate users using public-key cryptography instead of passwords. This helps to strengthen the security posture by going password-less and enabling phishing protection. We can automate WebAuthn-based sites using Virtual Authenticators, and being W3C compliant, Selenium 4 makes it really easy (The Virtual Authentication feature in Selenium 4 is currently available only in Java and in a patch release of Python).
During the talk, we will explain what WebAuthn is and what virtual authenticators are with some quick demonstrations. Then, we will showcase how using Selenium 4 we can easily automate such cases. We are also going to cover the implementation in Selenium 3 (in case someone is still stuck with the old version :)
