@ngx-firebase-web-authn/functions v15.7.1

@ngx-firebase-web-authn/functions

An unofficial AngularFire extension for authentication with WebAuthn passkeys.

Deprecated: This project is now FirebaseWebAuthn version 9.

This package contains a Firebase Function used to facilitate registering, authenticating, reauthenticating WebAuthn passkeys, and clearing data if the user cancels the process or unlinks a passkey.

Public keys are stored in the webAuthnUsers collection in Firestore. Setup doesn't require you to modify any Firestore rules. Your app should use a separate users/profiles collection to store user information.

Deployment

From your Firebase Functions package root, run:

% npm install @ngx-firebase-web-authn/functions --save

Re-export the function from your functions/index.ts file.

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin/app';


initializeApp();

export { ngxFirebaseWebAuthn } from '@ngx-firebase-web-authn/functions';

// Other functions...

Deploy your Firebase Functions:

% firebase deploy --only functions

Usage

For the browser to reach ngxFirebaseWebAuthn, modify your firebase.json to include a rewrite on each app where you'd like to use passkeys.

{
  "hosting": [
    {
      "target": "...",
      "rewrites": [
        {
          "source": "/ngxFirebaseWebAuthn",
          "function": "ngxFirebaseWebAuthn"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Google Cloud setup

• Enable the Anonymous authentication provider in Firebase if you are not using it already.
• Add the Service Account Token Creator role to your Firebase Functions' service account in GCP IAM project permissions. This is either the Default compute service account or the App Engine default service account, and can be seen under "Runtime service account" in GCP Cloud Function configuration after deployment.
