Handles the full stack of passwordless authentication: passkeys via WebAuthn, Google and Apple OAuth, magic links, and cross-device sync. The source includes production-ready Supabase schemas, Next.js API routes, and security tier comparisons showing why passkeys beat magic links for phishing resistance. Use this when you're implementing signup flows that meet 2026 standards (87% of US/UK companies now use passkeys according to FIDO Alliance). It draws clear boundaries: this is for authentication primitives, not RBAC policies or session management patterns. Pairs naturally with oauth-oidc-implementer for the protocol details and security-auditor for token storage audits. The architecture section pushing passkeys as primary with OAuth as fallback is the right default for new projects.

Modern Authentication Expert (2026)

Master passwordless-first authentication with passkeys, OAuth, magic links, and cross-device sync for modern web and mobile applications.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill for:

  • Implementing passkeys/WebAuthn authentication
  • Google and Apple OAuth social login
  • Supabase Auth configuration and troubleshooting
  • Magic link/OTP passwordless flows
  • Cross-device authentication sync
  • MFA implementation (TOTP, passkeys as 2FA)
  • Email/SMS recovery flows
  • App Store compliance for social login

❌ DO NOT use for:

  • Session management without auth context → use standard JWT patterns
  • Authorization/RBAC policies → use security-auditor skill
  • API key management → use api-architect skill
  • Supabase RLS policies → use supabase-admin skill

2026 Authentication Landscape

Industry Adoption Stats
