# Passkey Tutorial: Node.js (Express), JavaScript, MySQL & SimpleWebAuthn
## Introduction
Welcome to repository of the [Passkey Tutorial](https://www.corbado.com/blog/passkey-tutorial-how-to-implement-passkeys)! This [tutorial](https://www.corbado.com/blog/passkey-tutorial-how-to-implement-passkeys) showcases **how to implement passkeys in a simple web app**, thus offering a more secure alternative to traditional passwords. By the end of this tutorial, you will have implemented an **end-to-end passkey** authentication system **without relying on third-party passkey authentication providers**.
## Prerequisites
In the tutorial, we use the following tools and technologies, so having some basic knowledge in these areas is helpful:
- **Node.js (Express)**: Utilizes TypeScript for robust backend development with the Express framework.
- **Vanilla HTML & JavaScript/TypeScript**: Implements a straightforward and effective frontend.
- **MySQL**: Manages user data and passkey credentials securely.
- **SimpleWebAuthn**: Handles WebAuthn operations for registration and authentication.
## Features
In this passkey tutorial project, we implement the two basic WebAuthn / passkey cereomonies to sign-up / register and log in / authenticate with a passkey.
### Passkey Sign-Up
The passkey sign-up enables users to create new accounts and generate passkeys. Here is the corresponding passkey register flow chart:
### Passkey Login
The passkey login facilitates a secure login using the created passkeys. Here is the corresponding passkey login flow chart:
