## Description

**Bye Bye Passwords** brings modern passwordless authentication to WordPress using
WebAuthn/Passkeys technology. Say goodbye to weak passwords and hello to secure,
convenient login with biometrics, security keys, or platform authenticators.

#### Key Features

 * **Passwordless Login** – Sign in using Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, or security
   keys
 * **Multiple Passkeys** – Register multiple devices for convenient access anywhere
 * **Recovery Codes** – Generate one-time backup codes for emergency access
 * **Enhanced Security** – Eliminate password-based attacks completely
 * **User-Friendly** – Simple setup with no technical knowledge required
 * **Privacy-Focused** – Your authentication data stays on your server
 * **WordPress Integration** – Seamlessly integrated into WordPress admin and login

#### How It Works

 1. Register a passkey from your WordPress admin profile
 2. Use your device’s built-in authentication (fingerprint, face, PIN)
 3. Sign in instantly without typing passwords

#### Requirements

 * SSL/HTTPS enabled website (required for WebAuthn)
 * Modern browser with WebAuthn support
 * PHP 8.0 or higher
 * WordPress 5.0 or higher

### External Services

This plugin may connect to the FIDO Alliance Metadata Service (MDS) to download 
root certificates for authenticator validation.

#### FIDO Alliance Metadata Service

 * **URL:** https://mds.fidoalliance.org/
 * **Purpose:** Downloads attestation root certificates to verify the authenticity
   of security keys and passkey devices
 * **When:** Only when attestation verification is enabled and the plugin needs 
   to update its certificate store (not during normal authentication)
 * **Data sent:** No personal or user data is transmitted – only a standard HTTP
   GET request
 * **Service provider:** FIDO Alliance
 * **Terms of Use:** https://fidoalliance.org/metadata/
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://fidoalliance.org/privacy-policy/

No user data, credentials, or personal information is ever sent to external services.
All authentication happens locally on your server.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Navigate to « Bye Bye Passwords » in the admin menu
 4. Register your first passkey
 5. Generate recovery codes as backup

## FAQ

### What browsers support WebAuthn/Passkeys?

Chrome/Edge 67+, Firefox 60+, Safari 14+, and Opera 54+ all support WebAuthn.

### What happens if I lose my device?

Use your recovery codes to regain access, then register a new passkey. We recommend
registering multiple devices.

### Is this more secure than passwords?

Yes! Passkeys are phishing-resistant, can’t be stolen in data breaches, and use 
cryptographic authentication.

### Do I need special hardware?

No, most modern devices have built-in authenticators (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows
Hello). You can also use USB security keys.
