Abstract
In one embodiment, a method receives a secret and a passwordless login request using a credential provider of the client device. The method pairs the credential provider of the client device with a trusted platform module (TPM) associated with a computing device. The method encrypts, using the TPM of the computing device, the secret with a hardware-bound key associated with the computing device. The method receives, from the client device, a push notification associated with the passwordless login request. The method obtains, from the client device, biometric authentication data and a nonce encrypted with a public key. The method validates a proximity of the biometric authentication data and determine a decrypted nonce by decrypting the nonce using a private key associated with the client device. The method validates the decrypted nonce with the secret. In response to determining the decrypted nonce is valid, the method approves the passwordless login request.
