FastAPI Passkey Example App

Project Overview

This project implements a web application with a login system using Corbado's passkey-first authentication service integrated with a FastAPI backend. The application consists of two main pages: a login page and a home page. Once users log in successfully via the Corbado service on the login page, they are redirected to the home page where they can log out and view protected content.

Please see the full blog post to understand all the required steps to integrate passkeys into FastAPI apps.
