Algorand Foundation ships Liquid Auth, a passkey-based authentication system integrated through Pera Wallet
The Algorand Foundation has released Liquid Auth, a passkey-based authentication system integrated through Pera Wallet. Users sign in to applications with a face scan or fingerprint instead of a traditional password, and the system operates without dependence on centralized identity providers like Apple or Google.
The Foundation positions Liquid Auth as a self-sovereign identity tool that also reduces reliance on traditional seed phrases for account recovery. The integration is available through Pera Wallet on Algorand.
