Changes

Adds passkey login and signup to auth0-fastify, on top of the passkey API of @auth0/auth0-server-js 1.17.0. A signup can also verify the user's email address and phone number with one-time codes before the account is created.

The plugin does not mount routes for this. The app adds three routes that call fastify.auth0Client.passkey.startSignup(), startLogin() and complete(), so its own validation, rate limits and bot checks sit in front of them. After complete() the session is the same as after an OIDC login, so getUser(), getSession() and getAccessToken() work as usual.

API Changes

  • Bumps @auth0/auth0-server-js to ^1.17.0, which adds the passkey methods.
  • Re-exports PasskeyRegisterError, PasskeyChallengeError, PasskeyGetTokenError, MissingTransactionError, SessionExpiredError, isMfaRequiredError and 14 passkey types from @auth0/auth0-server-js, so users do not have to install it directly to catch the errors or type their routes. Additive only, no existing signature changes. Both the ESM and the CJS build export the new names.
  • Adds a typecheck script (tsc --noEmit, about 1 second) to @auth0/auth0-fastify and runs it in the lint job. Nothing in CI checked the export types before: deleting a re-export from src/index.ts passed vitest, eslint and the build.

Documentation

  • New section "Login and Signup using Passkeys" in packages/auth0-fastify/EXAMPLES.md:
    • the dashboard setup, including the custom domain that passkeys are bound to;
    • the three routes;
    • a table that maps each complete() error to a route answer and a browser action;
    • the signup codes flow (ask for the codes before navigator.credentials.create(), resend the same credential after a wrong code);
    • the browser side, with the base64url helpers;
    • "Securing the routes": body schemas, a body limit, rate limits, trustProxy as a list of proxy IP addresses (never true or a number), an Origin check, and what not to log.
  • Rows in the two READMEs and in llms.txt.
  • The routes in the docs are the routes that src/passkey.spec.ts runs. A test fails if they differ.

Example

New examples/example-fastify-web-passkeys: a runnable app with passkey login and signup next to the OIDC login. It has the three routes with the schemas, per-route rate limits (an IPv6 /64 counts as one user), a body limit and the Origin check, and a small plain-JS page for the WebAuthn calls (codes prompt, wrong-code retry, cancelled prompt, rate limit and network errors). Passkeys need a custom domain and HTTPS, so the README shows how to run it on a machine (a hosts entry, a local certificate from mkcert and a Caddy reverse proxy). A new CI job, example-fastify-web-passkeys, builds and tests it.

Notes for reviewers

  • No mountPasskeyRoutes. The app owns the routes. A follow-up could add opt-in routes with a browser client.
  • The version is not bumped here. The release PR does it.
  • The page script public/app.js has no automated test in this repo. The browser run described below is not part of the PR, so the README asks you to walk through the flows after you change it.
  • The PR touches shared CI in two places: one step in the lint job of test.yml, and one job in examples.yml that mirrors the call-api job.
  • startSignup() without { request, reply } throws MissingStoreOptionsError only after it has called Auth0, so the codes may already be sent. This is how server-js 1.17.0 behaves. A test pins it and the docs warn about it.

Testing

  • packages/auth0-fastify/src/passkey.spec.ts: 35 new tests (the package suite goes from 69 to 104). They run the real plugin and cookie handling against a fake Auth0 (msw): cookie attributes, the session after signup and login, wrong-code retries, rate limits, mfa_required, expired and unreadable flows, store options, and the docs check. Many of them pin behaviour of server-js 1.17.0 that the docs promise, so a failure after a dependency bump means the docs need a look.

  • The example has 104 tests: routes, schemas, limits, the Origin check, the browser helpers, and the code in the docs (schemas, helpers, the browser flow and the Origin check are run against the docs text).

  • I also ran the example in headless Chrome with a virtual authenticator and a fake Auth0: signup with email and phone codes, a wrong code, login, cancelled prompts, rate limits and errors (20 checks, all pass). That script is not part of this PR.

  • I checked that the tests fail when the code is wrong. I made 65 deliberate one-line mistakes (15 in the package, 50 in the example), one at a time, and each makes at least one test fail.

  • Node 20.20.2 and 22.21.1, on Fastify 5.8.5 and on a fresh install without a lockfile (Fastify 5.12.7, the newest at the time, as CI installs). @auth0/auth0-fastify-api and the call-api example still pass.

  • Not tested: a real tenant with a custom domain and real SMS and email delivery, Safari or iOS (they need a user gesture for WebAuthn, and the page calls it after a fetch), and a Windows checkout (the CRLF line endings are only simulated).

  • This change adds test coverage

  • This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added passkey sign-up and login support for Fastify apps, including email and phone verification-code flows.
    • Added a runnable web example combining passkeys with OIDC login and a profile view, with signup, login, verification-code, and profile screens.
    • Exposed passkey-related errors and types through the Fastify SDK.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance, usage instructions, troubleshooting tips, and security notes for passkey flows.
    • Updated SDK feature lists and the examples catalog to include passkeys and the new example.

Bump @auth0/auth0-server-js to ^1.17.0 and re-export its passkey errors and
types, so an app can add passkey login and signup (with email and phone
verification codes) through its own routes. Adds the EXAMPLES.md section, a
spec, a typecheck script and CI step, and a runnable example app with its
own CI job.

error as well as failed and network_error. If the retry returns restart after an
error or network_error, call loadSession; when it returns true, show the
existing flow-specific success notification and return, and when false, preserve
the original error result.

- Around line 297-299: Update the MFA handling note in the sample route and its
error-table browser action so `mfa_required` is documented as terminal for this
sample; direct users to OIDC Login or another MFA-capable flow instead of
promising continuation through `fastify.auth0Client.mfa`.

…s example and docs

Fastify 5.12.1 removed a numeric trustProxy: the type no longer accepts a number
and nothing is trusted at runtime. That broke the example build in CI, and the
documented advice (trustProxy: 1) trusted no proxy at all on current Fastify.

TRUST_PROXY in the example and the EXAMPLES.md advice now use the IP addresses or
CIDR ranges of the proxies. That works on every Fastify 5 version, and a client
that reaches the app directly cannot choose its IP address through
X-Forwarded-For. The example checks the list at startup and refuses "true", a
number, an unknown name and a range of 0 bits.

…nd docs

Fixes from the review of #107 and the two CodeRabbit comments.

Example app
- The rate limits count the addresses of one IPv6 /64 as one user. The custom
  key generator that handles a missing address had dropped the grouping that
  the plugin's own generator does, so a user could get a fresh limit by
  changing the address inside their /64.
- The page treats the app's own 429 on the complete route like a wait: it
  keeps the flow, shows the time from retry-after and offers Try again,
  instead of telling the user to start again.
- APP_BASE_URL must start with http:// or https://. "localhost:3000" used to
  pass the check and then stop with a bare "Invalid URL".
- The signup form shows a sentence for a bad email address or phone number
  instead of the schema rule.
- New tests pin the Origin comparison (prefix, port, scheme, "null"), the
  count per address and per /64, the CSP directives, referrer-policy and
  no-store on /auth/.
- README: a runnable local setup (hosts entry, mkcert, Caddyfile), a row for
  the app's own 429, Auth0's current flow lifetimes, and what the tests do not
  cover.

Docs (EXAMPLES.md)
- The mfa_required route comment and table row say that the route stops there
  and keeps no token, and how to continue (CodeRabbit).
- The complete route no longer logs a whole non-Auth0 error: the error of a
  session store can carry the session. It logs the message.
- A note on the signup route to validate request.body first.
- 60 seconds and 15 minutes are described as the timeout Auth0 returns.

Docs checks
- The two checks that compare the docs with the code now fail when an anchor
  is missing, instead of comparing an empty text.
- The example's docs check reads files with CRLF line endings.

CodeRabbit asked to separate https for passkeys from http for the OIDC login.
The APP_BASE_URL row of the example README now says that passkeys need
https:// and that http:// only works for the OIDC login, with a link to
"Where to run it".

…ys docs after review

Fixes for the four review comments on #107.

- Export SessionExpiredError from the package. passkey.complete() throws it
  when the session_expiry claim of the ID token has already passed, and it was
  neither exported nor listed in the error table. The sample route answers
  session_expired, the table has a row for it, and the example app shows a
  message that points the user to OIDC Login.
- The docs said the flow is kept after any other failure. complete() deletes
  the flow before it creates the session, so the flow is gone when that step
  fails: with a SessionExpiredError, or when the session store throws. The
  paragraph and the "Anything else" row now say so.
- The sample route sends retryAfterSeconds on a 429 when Auth0 sent a
  retry-after header, as the example app does, so the browser can wait as long
  as Auth0 asks.
- The docs say to add username to the signup schema when the connection signs
  users up by username, because Fastify drops a property the schema does not
  list.

Tests: three new tests in the package (the wait seconds, a session_expiry that
has passed, a session store that throws), the export in the exports test, and
one new test in the example. Two new package mutants (the export, and server-js
deleting the flow after the session) and two new example mutants each make a
test fail.
