Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention

71 points

a year ago

I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.

What makes Nocaptcha different: - Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving - No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles - Open source

Current limitation: Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.

Looking for feedback particularly on: 1. Integration experience 2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs
