Bulwark Passkey – A virtual Yubikey-like device for 2FA or WebAuthN

Hacker News

Hey y'all, This is something I've been working on for a few months. It is a passkey system, similar to Apple Passkeys or a Yubikey, but it is entirely software based so you can sync credentials between devices. Passkeys (and FIDO devices in general) allow you to use public keys instead of passwords or codes to authenticate. For instance, you can just click "Approve" on the device/software instead of having to copy a code, and there are no passwords to phish. This is a new piece of tech, so website support for logins are still limited, but it can currently be used for 2FA anywhere a Yubikey can be used. Bulwark Passkey emulates the USB device in software, which allows you to sync credentials as well as copy them out. This is less secure than a dedicated hardware device, where credentials can never by copied or removed from the device, but it is much, much more secure and usable than passwords or one-time codes. Please take a look, and I appreciate any feedback you might have!
