Hello Graeme

Yes, it is possible to use WebAuthn Passwordless Login in the frontend on Joomla, but it would require some development work to implement.

WebAuthn is a standard for passwordless authentication, and it allows users to log in to websites without the need for a traditional password. To use WebAuthn on Joomla, you would need to integrate it with your Joomla authentication system.

There are several libraries and plugins available that can help with this integration, such as the WebAuthn plugin for Joomla developed by Yubico, a company that specializes in authentication solutions. This plugin provides a ready-to-use authentication solution that can be easily integrated with Joomla.

Alternatively, you could develop your own implementation using a WebAuthn library, such as the WebAuthn library for JavaScript. This would require more development work, but it would give you more control over the implementation and customization options.

Regardless of the approach you choose, it's important to keep in mind that WebAuthn requires support from both the user's browser and the authentication server. So you will need to ensure that your users' browsers support WebAuthn and that your authentication server is properly configured to handle WebAuthn authentication requests.

Best regards

Hi joomla 4 Supports WebAuthn and i use it in the back end i have asked around on joomla forums, they say its should be accesible on a front end login by default and have asked if the template overides in the template are preventing it?

We have not overridden this. You may check with the default Casseopeia template.
