The problem ZeroPass solves

Everybody hates passwords. They provide a terrible user experience and are usually very insecure. In fact, 81% of all hacking-related breaches leverage stolen or weak passwords. There is a better way, and it has been on our devices all along! We're giving passwords a 2021 upgrade and helping developers to bring the magic of TouchID, FaceID, Windows Hello, Android Biometric to your favorite website!

WebAuthn is a web standard that allows web developers to use the biometric authenticators on their user's devices to authenticate them. It was implemented only in very recent releases by all major browsers. It promises to solve all the password problem once and for all, but currently faces two big challenges: 1) Web developers don't know if their users have compatible devices and 2) Implementing WebAuthn is extremely difficult and involves massive engineering costs.

We decided to fix both of these issues. We have created a script that developers can embed on their sites to understand what percentage of their users use devices with WebAuthn-compatible biometric sensors. After seeing this number, if they want to implement WebAuthn signup/login on their site, they can use our WebAuthn SDK with the following unique features:

  1. Implement WebAuthn in hours instead of months using our fully featured SDK + Crypto server.
  2. Granular settings for desired levels of security using the FIDO attestation database.
  3. FIDO standardization and certification taken care of.
  4. Pre-built, customizable UIs that developers can directly embed onto their site to speed up implementation.
  5. Specialized tools for using WebAuthn as an additional 2FA provider instead of fully passwordless login.
  6. Handle all browser and device compatibility edge cases so you don't have to
