WebAuthn Basic Client/Server Example (go)

This library implements a simple, basic WebAuthn client and server based on duo's WebAuthn implementation. The code pulls inspiration from duo's WebAuthn example implementation. This example is NOT meant to be used in production, but rather as an introduction to WebAuthn as well as a more quick-and-dirty, stripped down version of webauthn.io.

Upon successful registration, you'll see an alert saying you successfully registered, similar to this:

Login

Press the login button and follow the instructions. The login process is identical (user side) to the registration process.
