Passkey-first Login
⚡ 15 min totalImplement passwordless authentication with biometric login (fingerprint, Face ID, Windows Hello) in just 5 steps
What is Passkey-first Login?
Passkey-first Login replaces traditional passwords with biometric authentication. Users log in with:
- Fingerprint (Touch ID, Android fingerprint)
- Face recognition (Face ID, Windows Hello)
- Hardware security keys (YubiKey, etc.)
Benefits:
- 93% login success rate (FIDO Alliance, 2025)
- 3x faster login compared to passwords
- Zero password fatigue for users
- Phishing-resistant authentication
Integration Steps
Step 1: Create a projectStep 2: Load the SDK (CDN or npm)Step 3: Open the login modalStep 4: Auth state eventsStep 5: Verify JWT on the server
Quick start
CDN: add webworker.js in HTML, then use transcodes globally.
npm: npm i @bigstrider/transcodes-sdk, then await init({ projectId }) and named imports.
// After SDK load (CDN: transcodes — npm: import { openAuthLoginModal, on } from '…')
const result = await transcodes.openAuthLoginModal({});
if (result.success) {
const member = result.payload[0].member;
console.log('Welcome!', member?.email);
}
transcodes.on('AUTH_STATE_CHANGED', (payload) => {
if (payload.isAuthenticated) {
console.log('Member signed in:', payload.member?.email);
}
});Who Should Use This?
Passkey-first Login is perfect for:
- Startups wanting to ship fast without building auth
- UX-focused websites prioritizing user experience
- No-code builders (Webflow, Bubble, Framer)
- Any app wanting to eliminate password friction
