Can I uses Passlock with React, Next, Angular etc?

Not at this stage. If you are looking for a self hosted passkey solution we highly recommend the SimpleWebAuthn library for nodejs

How do I use passkeys alongside my other authentication mechanisms?

In the same way you would use social sign-in. Just link Passlock's user.id to your user entity.

Can someone use a passkey with Javascript disabled?

In short, no. The underlying browser API requires javascript.

Can I export my users' passkeys?

Yes. Navigate to a user's profile in the Passlock console and select 'download credentials'.

What format is the exported credential?

Are you ready ... It's a public key (most likely an Elliptic curve / EC2 key) encoded using COSE (a specialism of CBOR). The binary key is then Base64URL encoded for download 🤯
