Build a passkey authentication system using the Web Authentication API in this comprehensive tutorial. Develop an Express.js application connected to a Postgres database through Sequelize, all running in a Docker container. Learn about prerequisites, setting up the development environment, configuring Sequelize and Postgres, creating routes and controllers, designing frontend views, and implementing public key credentials. Explore Passport.js configuration, session management, and gain an overview of passkeys. Master the two-phase process of attestation/registration and assertion/login, and implement a logout feature.
