We're excited to announce the launch of PasskeyMe's completely redesigned JavaScript and React SDKs! These new SDKs bring a Firebase Auth-like developer experience to passkey authentication using hosted authentication pages, making it easier than ever to integrate secure, passwordless authentication into your web applications.

🆕 What's New?​

@passkeyme/auth - Core JavaScript/TypeScript SDK​

Our new core SDK provides a complete authentication solution using PasskeyMe's hosted authentication pages:

import { PasskeymeAuth } from '@passkeyme/auth';

const auth = new PasskeymeAuth({
  appId: 'your-app-id',
  baseUrl: 'https://auth.passkeyme.com',
  mode: 'hosted' // Uses your branded hosted auth pages
});

// Redirect to hosted auth page (all methods)
auth.redirectToLogin();

// Redirect to specific OAuth provider
auth.redirectToOAuth('google');

// Handle return from hosted auth
const user = await auth.handleAuthCallback();

@passkeyme/react-auth - React Integration SDK​

The React SDK brings hosted authentication directly into your React components with simple hooks:

import { 
  PasskeymeProvider, 
  usePasskeyme
} from '@passkeyme/react-auth';

function App() {
  return (
    <PasskeymeProvider config={{ appId: 'your-app-id' }}>
      <AuthenticatedApp />
    </PasskeymeProvider>
  );
}

function LoginPage() {
  const { redirectToLogin, redirectToOAuth } = usePasskeyme();
  
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => redirectToLogin()}>
        🔐 Sign In (All Methods)
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => redirectToOAuth('google')}>
        🌐 Continue with Google
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

🎯 Why Hosted Authentication?​

The Firebase Auth Experience, But Better​

While Firebase Auth has set the gold standard for authentication SDKs, it requires complex setup for OAuth providers and lacks comprehensive passkey support. We created something that's even simpler while being more powerful.

Our Solution: Hosted Pages + Self-Hosted Control​

PasskeyMe's hosted authentication approach combines the best of all worlds:

• ✅ Zero Configuration: No OAuth app setup, no complex SDK configuration
• ✅ Centralized Branding: Your logo, colors, and styling across all apps
• ✅ Passkey-First: Native WebAuthn/passkey support built from the ground up
• ✅ Self-Hosted: Full control over your authentication infrastructure
• ✅ TypeScript-First: Complete type safety and excellent developer experience
• ✅ Framework Agnostic: Works with React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, or vanilla JavaScript

🚀 Key Features​

🎨 Hosted Authentication Pages​

Your users see beautifully designed, branded authentication pages:

// Your app redirects to hosted auth page
auth.redirectToLogin();

// Users see YOUR branded page with:
// - Your logo and colors
// - Configured OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, etc.)
// - Passkey authentication
// - Username/password forms
// - Custom styling and messaging

🔐 Comprehensive Authentication Methods​

All methods available on your hosted pages:

// Direct to general auth page (shows all enabled methods)
auth.redirectToLogin();

// Direct to specific OAuth provider
auth.redirectToOAuth('google');
auth.redirectToOAuth('github');

// Direct to specific auth method
auth.redirectToLogin({ authMethod: 'passkey' });
auth.redirectToLogin({ authMethod: 'password' });

Modern React Integration​

// Authentication state management
const { user, isAuthenticated, loading, error } = usePasskeyme();

// Pre-built UI components
<PasskeyLoginButton>🔐 Login with Passkey</PasskeyLoginButton>
<LoginButton provider="google">Login with Google</LoginButton>
<UserProfile editable={true} />
<ProtectedRoute><Dashboard /></ProtectedRoute>

Automatic Token Management​

• Secure token storage in browser
• Automatic token refresh
• HTTP interceptors for API calls
• CSRF protection and security best practices

Production-Ready Features​

• Comprehensive error handling
• Loading states and user feedback
• Customizable UI components
• Mobile-responsive design
• Accessibility (WCAG) compliance

🔄 Easy Migration​

From Firebase Auth​

⚡ Automatic Token Management​

No more manually handling JWTs:

// Tokens stored securely and refreshed automatically
const token = await auth.getAccessToken();

// Use with any HTTP client
fetch('/api/protected', {
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }
});

🛡️ Protected Routes Made Simple​

// React Router protection
<Route path="/dashboard" element={
  <ProtectedRoute>
    <Dashboard />
  </ProtectedRoute>
} />

// Next.js protection
function ProtectedPage() {
  const { isAuthenticated, loading } = usePasskeyme();
  
  if (loading) return <Spinner />;
  if (!isAuthenticated) return <Navigate to="/login" />;
  
  return <Dashboard />;
}

🔄 Seamless Migration​

From Firebase Auth​

The API is intentionally similar for easy migration:

// Firebase Auth (old)
import { signInWithEmailAndPassword } from 'firebase/auth';
await signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password);

// PasskeyMe (new)
import { PasskeymeAuth } from '@passkeyme/auth';
const auth = new PasskeymeAuth(config);
auth.redirectToLogin({ authMethod: 'password' });

From Auth0​

// Auth0 (old)
const { user, isAuthenticated, loginWithRedirect } = useAuth0();

// PasskeyMe (new)  
const { user, isAuthenticated, redirectToLogin } = usePasskeyme();

The transition is seamless, but you gain hosted auth pages, native passkey support, and eliminate vendor lock-in!

  PasskeymeProvider, 
  usePasskeyme, 
  PasskeyLoginButton,
  LoginButton,
  UserProfile 
} from '@passkeyme/react-auth';

const authConfig = {
  apiUrl: process.env.REACT_APP_PASSKEYME_API_URL,
  clientId: process.env.REACT_APP_PASSKEYME_CLIENT_ID,
};

function App() {
  return (
    <PasskeymeProvider config={authConfig}>
      <AuthFlow />
    </PasskeymeProvider>
  );
}

function AuthFlow() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated, loading } = usePasskeyme();

  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Welcome back!</h1>
        <UserProfile />
      </div>
    );
## 📝 Complete React Example

Here's how simple it is to add authentication to your React app:

```tsx
import { PasskeymeProvider, usePasskeyme } from '@passkeyme/react-auth';

const authConfig = {
  appId: 'your-app-id',
  baseUrl: 'https://auth.passkeyme.com',
  mode: 'hosted'
};

function App() {
  return (
    <PasskeymeProvider config={authConfig}>
      <AuthenticatedApp />
    </PasskeymeProvider>
  );
}

function AuthenticatedApp() {
  const { isAuthenticated, redirectToLogin } = usePasskeyme();

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Welcome to My App</h1>
        <button onClick={() => redirectToLogin()}>
          🔐 Sign In
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>You're logged in!</h1>
      <Dashboard />
    </div>
  );
}

That's it! Your users will see your beautifully branded hosted authentication page with all configured auth methods.

🚀 Getting Started​

Installation​

# Core SDK (works with any framework)
npm install @passkeyme/auth

# React SDK (includes core SDK)
npm install @passkeyme/react-auth @passkeyme/auth

Quick Setup​

1. Configure your provider:

import { PasskeymeProvider } from '@passkeyme/react-auth';

<PasskeymeProvider config={{
  appId: 'your-app-id', // From PasskeyMe dashboard
  mode: 'hosted' // Uses hosted auth pages
}}>
  <App />
</PasskeymeProvider>

2. Use the hook:

const { user, redirectToLogin, isAuthenticated } = usePasskeyme();

3. Add login buttons:

<button onClick={() => redirectToLogin()}>Sign In</button>

5-Minute Setup Guide​

1. Create a PasskeyMe account at passkeyme.com
2. Set up your app in the dashboard (configure branding, OAuth providers)
3. Install the SDK and add the provider to your React app
4. Add login buttons that redirect to hosted auth pages
5. Handle the callback when users return from authentication
