Is it possible to allow only fingerprint authentication?

Hi gregesf,

Unfortunately, no.

Through WebAuthn API, we can only recognize whether the authenticator is internal (e.g. fingerprint scanners or face recognition cameras) or external (e.g. USB Keys) and how the authenticator connect to the host (only when it’s external), but cannot recognize the type of internal authenticators.

So it’s possible to disable internal or external authenticators, but we can’t disable a certain type of authenticators.

Thank you very much for your quick response

I understand that it would be possible to disable the external authenticators and leave only the internal ones working on the platform? I think that would work.

My specific problem is that when logging in to the WP, users from desktop devices (without a fingerprint reader) get confused or do not understand the external authentication method by USB and I do not think it will be used by anyone, for now.

Sorry to bother you and again thank you very much, I’ve been checking the code, but I can’t find where to limit the login to the internal authenticators.

Greetings,

Gabriel.

That’s a bit complex. Maybe I can add this as a new feature to the plugin later (several days later maybe).
