Passkey Authenticator Name Finder

This package provides a simple utility function to look up the likely human-readable name of a passkey provider (authenticator) given its AAGUID (Authenticator Attestation Globally Unique Identifier).

It uses the community-driven JSON list of known AAGUIDs maintained by passkeydeveloper at: https://github.com/passkeydeveloper/passkey-authenticator-aaguids

This is a community-driven list of known passkey provider AAGUIDs to assist with naming passkeys in end user passkey management interfaces (e.g. account settings). It is not intended to be used for any other purpose and could go away at any time.

Purpose

The primary goal of this package, mirroring the source repository's intent, is to assist developers in displaying user-friendly names for passkeys in end-user management interfaces, such as account settings or security dashboards. You can display a more recognizable name like "iCloud Keychain".

Installation

npm install passkey-authenticator-aaguids

How to use

import {  getAuthenticator } from 'passkey-authenticator-aaguids';

const exampleAuthenticatorData = "SZYN5YgOjGh0NBcPZHZgW4_krrmihjLHmVzzuoMdl2NdAAAAAPv8MAcVTk7MjAtuAgVX170AFBUCgIutOmnd-P3TTsakYoMM292opQECAyYgASFYIGTgM0IiDgO9AqTMSMT1Tdh1sHiL99qEZJ4cdk8vJAyDIlggolBgLLxO9I2q9GuYsa8kBThr8-iXpiO4mL2z_73-Th4"

const authenticator = getAuthenticator({ authenticatorData: exampleAuthenticatorData});
console.log(authenticator) // { id: 'fbfc3007-154e-4ecc-8c0b-6e020557d7bd', name: 'iCloud Keychain' }
