A message from kapa.ai
To implement passkey login in native apps with Ory, you need to follow a specific flow that differs from browser-based authentication. Here's how to implement it: ## Native App Authentication Flow with Passkeys For native apps, Ory provides a specific authentication flow that works with passkeys. The process involves: 1. Creating an API flow (not a browser flow) 2. Opening a browser for the authentication 3. Exchanging a code for a session token ### Implementation Steps 1. Create an API login flow with the parameter
return_session_token_exchange_code=true
Copy code
go flow, _, err := ory.FrontendApi.CreateNativeLoginFlow(ctx).Execute()
2. Render the UI with the passkey option 3. Open a browser for authentication when the user selects the passkey option - The browser is needed because WebAuthn/passkeys require browser APIs - You'll need to use a system browser, as WebView in Android doesn't support WebAuthn 4. Exchange the session token code for a session token after successful authentication [Ory Kratos Social Sign-in for Native Apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation) provides a detailed implementation guide that follows a similar pattern. ## Platform Support It's important to note that WebAuthn/passkey support varies by platform: - iOS supports passkeys through Apple Passkeys - Android has added passkey support in recent versions - Cross-platform passkeys allow authentication across different devices and platforms [Login and authentication explained](https://www.ory.sh/blog/overview-login-password-passkey-webauthn-totp-sso-faceid) ## Current Limitations There are some limitations to be aware of: - As noted in a GitHub issue, "We do not support WebAuthN on native devices for now. The current implementation of it is pretty browser focused and requires JS and browser APIs." [GitHub Issue #284](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/284) - For native apps, you'll need to use a browser to complete the WebAuthn/passkey authentication ## Configuration To enable passkeys in your Ory project: 1. Go to AuthenticationPasswordless login in the Ory Console 2. Toggle the switch for Enable Passkey authentication Alternatively, use the Ory CLI:
Copy code
ory patch identity-config <your-project-id> \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/enabled=true' \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/config/rp/display_name="My Display Name"'
For the most up-to-date implementation details, I recommend checking the [Ory documentation on passkeys](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys) and the [native app authentication flow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation).

how to pass the cookies in the api call ? @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on your question about passing cookies in API calls with Ory, here's how to handle cookies in different scenarios: ## Browser Applications For browser applications, cookies are automatically included in requests to the same domain. However, when your backend needs to validate these cookies with Ory, you need to forward them: ### In Express.js (Node.js)
Copy code
javascript const express = require("express")   const cors = require("cors")   const { FrontendApi, Configuration } = require("@ory/client-fetch")      const app = express()      const ory = new FrontendApi(     new Configuration({       basePath: process.env.ORY_URL || "<http://localhost:4000>",       baseOptions: { withCredentials: true },     }),   )      app.use(     cors({       origin: process.env.UI_URL || "<http://localhost:8080>",       credentials: true, // Required for CORS to accept cookies and tokens.     }),   )      app.use((req, res, next) => {     // Forward the cookies from the request to Ory   ory       .toSession({         cookie: req.headers.cookie,       })       .then(({ data }) => {         req.session = data         next()       })       .catch(() => {         res.status(401)         res.json({ error: "Unauthorized" })       })   })
[Integrate authentication into Vue.js + API](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/vue#make-authenticated-calls-to-your-api) ### In Single Page Applications (SPA) For SPAs making AJAX requests, you need to set
withCredentials: true
or `credentials: "include"`:
Copy code
javascript const { FrontendApi, Configuration } = require("@ory/client-fetch")      const ory = new FrontendApi(     new Configuration({       basePath: `{YOUR-CUSTOM-DOMAIN-OR-ORY-TUNNEL}`,       baseOptions: {         withCredentials: true,       },     }),   )      const session = await ory.toSession().catch((err) => {     // Check the error to see if it's a 401 / 403 -> not logged in   })
[Check session status](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/check-session-token-cookie-api) ## Native Applications For native apps, you'll use session tokens instead of cookies:
Copy code
javascript const { FrontendApi, Configuration } = require("@ory/client")      const frontend = new FrontendApi(     new Configuration({       basePath: `https://${process.env.PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,     }),   )      export async function checkSession(sessionId: string, token: string) {     return await frontend.toSession({       xSessionToken: token,     })   }
[Session Checks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#session-checks) ## Important Notes 1. When working with multiple cookies, ensure they're properly formatted with semicolons:
Copy code
ClientApi.Configuration.DefaultHeaders.Add("Cookie", csrfCookie + "; " + sessionCookie);
[GitHub Issue #36](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/36) 2. For backend services that need to handle both browser and native app requests:
Copy code
javascript    app.get("/blog/posts", async function (req, res) {        const authHeader = req.headers.authorization        const hasAuthHeader = authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")        const sessionToken = hasAuthHeader          ? authHeader.slice(7, authHeader.length)          : null            const session = await ory          .toSession({            cookie: req.cookies.join("; "),            xSessionToken: sessionToken,          })        .catch((err) => {            // Handle error        })      })
[Check session status](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/check-session-token-cookie-api) 3. For cURL requests, use the
-b
flag to read cookies from a file:
Copy code
curl -X GET \          -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \          -H 'Accept: application/json' \          -b cookies.txt \          https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/session/whoami|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/session/whoami>
[Session Checks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#session-checks) Remember that for security reasons, Ory uses different endpoints for browser and native applications, so make sure you're using the correct one for your use case.

Ory Kratos uses
csrf_token
only for browser-based flows, and session cookies for authenticated API flows. how to use in the retrofit native mobile apps @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
You're correct that Ory Kratos uses CSRF tokens only for browser-based flows, while native applications like mobile apps use a different approach. Let me explain how to implement authentication in native mobile apps using Retrofit. ## Native App Authentication with Ory Kratos For native mobile apps using Retrofit, you should use the API-based flows instead of browser-based flows. Here's how to implement it: ### 1. Initialize Authentication Flow For native apps, use the
/self-service/{flow_type}/api
endpoints instead of the browser endpoints:
Copy code
kotlin // Retrofit service interface interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/login/api")     suspend fun createLoginFlow(): Response<LoginFlow>          @GET("/self-service/registration/api")     suspend fun createRegistrationFlow(): Response<RegistrationFlow>          // Other flow endpoints... }
[Native vs. browser apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/native-browser) ### 2. Handle Session Tokens (Not Cookies) Native apps receive session tokens instead of cookies:
Copy code
kotlin // Add an interceptor to your Retrofit client to handle session tokens val client = OkHttpClient.Builder()     .addInterceptor { chain ->         val original = chain.request()         val request = original.newBuilder()                  // Add session token if available         sessionToken?.let {             request.header("Authorization", "Bearer $it")         }                  chain.proceed(request.build())     }     .build()  val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()     .baseUrl("https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com>")     .client(client)     .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())     .build()
[Using Ory Session Token](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/overview#using-ory-session-token) ### 3. Check Session Status To verify if a user is authenticated:
Copy code
kotlin interface OryService {     @GET("/sessions/whoami")     suspend fun checkSession(@Header("Authorization") sessionToken: String): Response<Session> }  // Usage try {     val response = oryService.checkSession("Bearer $sessionToken")     if (response.isSuccessful) {         // User is authenticated         val session = response.body()         // Use session data     } } catch (e: Exception) {     // Handle error - user not authenticated }
[Check session status](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/check-session-token-cookie-api) ### 4. Social Sign-in or Passkeys in Native Apps For authentication methods that require browser capabilities (like social sign-in or passkeys): 1. Create an API flow with
return_session_token_exchange_code=true
2. When the user selects a method requiring a browser, open a system browser 3. After authentication, the browser will redirect back to your app with a code 4. Exchange this code for a session token
Copy code
kotlin // Step 1: Create flow val flow = oryService.createLoginFlow(returnSessionTokenExchangeCode = true)  // Step 2: Open browser when needed val redirectUrl = "<your-app-scheme://callback>" val browserIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(flow.redirectBrowserTo)) startActivity(browserIntent)  // Step 3 & 4: Handle callback and exchange code // In your callback activity fun handleCallback(uri: Uri) {     val code = uri.getQueryParameter("code")     code?.let {         // Exchange code for session token         val sessionToken = oryService.exchangeSessionToken(code)         // Store session token securely         secureStorage.saveSessionToken(sessionToken)     } }
[Social sign-in for native apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation) ### Important Considerations 1. No CSRF Tokens: Native apps don't need CSRF protection, so you don't need to handle CSRF tokens. 2. Secure Storage: Store the session token securely using platform-specific secure storage (KeyStore for Android, Keychain for iOS). 3. Token Refresh: Implement token refresh logic when the session expires. 4. Browser Authentication: For methods requiring browser capabilities, you'll need to implement deep linking to handle the redirect back to your app. By following these guidelines, you can properly integrate Ory Kratos authentication in your Retrofit-based native mobile application without dealing with browser-specific concerns like CSRF tokens. Remember that for native apps, you should always use the
/api
endpoints rather than the
/browser
endpoints to ensure proper security measures are applied.

A message from kapa.ai
Based on the knowledge sources, here's how to use the session token in native applications with Ory: ## Using Session Tokens in Native Apps For native applications (mobile, desktop, etc.), Ory issues session tokens instead of cookies. Here's how to use them: ### 1. Checking Session Status To verify if a user is authenticated or to get session information, use the
toSession
method with the session token:
Copy code
go package frontend      import (    "context"    "fmt"    "os"       "<http://github.com/ory/client-go|github.com/ory/client-go>"   )      type oryMiddleware struct {    ory *ory.APIClient   }      func init() {    cfg := client.NewConfiguration()    cfg.Servers = client.ServerConfigurations{     {URL: fmt.Sprintf("<https://%s.projects.oryapis.com>", os.Getenv("ORY_PROJECT_SLUG"))},    }       ory = client.NewAPIClient(cfg)   }      func CheckSession(ctx context.Context, sessionToken string) (session *client.Session, err error) {    session, _, err = ory.FrontendApi.ToSession(ctx).     XSessionToken(sessionToken).     Execute()    if err != nil {     // error revoking the session, for example due to expired token provided     return nil, err    }       return session, nil   }
[Ory Identity Management Go SDK](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/sdk/go#native---check-who-the-current-http-session-belongs-to) ### 2. Including the Token in API Requests You can include the session token in API requests in two ways: 1. As an
X-Session-Token
header 2. As a Bearer token in the
Authorization
header
Copy code
// Using X-Session-Token header curl -X GET \       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \       -H 'Accept: application/json' \       -H 'X-Session-Token: <your-session-token>' \       https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami>    // Using Authorization header curl -X GET \       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \       -H 'Accept: application/json' \       -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your-session-token>' \       https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/sessions/whoami>
[Session Checks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#session-checks) ### 3. Storing the Session Token In React Native, you can store the session token securely:
Copy code
javascript import { Configuration, FrontendApi, Session } from "@ory/client"   import { useEffect, useState } from "react"   import * as SecureStore from "expo-secure-store"      const ory = new FrontendApi(     new Configuration({       basePath: `https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com>`,     }),   )      async function getSessionTokenFromStore() {     return await SecureStore.getItemAsync("session_token")   }      export default async function SomeComponent() {     const [session, setSession] = useState<Session | undefined>()     const sessionToken = await getSessionTokenFromStore()        useEffect(() => {       if (!sessionToken) {         return       }          ory         .toSession({           xSessionToken: sessionToken,         })         .then(({ data }) => setSession(data))     }, [sessionToken])        return <div>{session?.id}</div>   }
[Check session status](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/check-session-token-cookie-api) ### 4. Logging Out (Revoking the Session) To log out a user by revoking their session token:
Copy code
go func Logout(ctx context.Context, sessionToken string) error {    _, err := ory.FrontendApi.PerformNativeLogout(ctx).     PerformNativeLogoutBody(*client.NewPerformNativeLogoutBody(sessionToken)).     Execute()    if err != nil {     return err    }    // Logout was successful       return nil   }
[Native API applications](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-logout#native-api-applications) Remember that session tokens are meant for native applications, while cookies are for browser applications. For security reasons, you can't break the isolation between these two authentication methods.

can you please provide me a complete api calling function to call inn native app so i can get the csrf token @chilly-king-10285

A message from kapa.ai
I need to clarify something important: for native applications, you don't need to handle CSRF tokens at all. Ory Kratos uses different security mechanisms for native apps versus browser apps. For native apps, you should use the
/api
endpoints (not the
/browser
endpoints), and these don't require CSRF tokens. Instead, they use session tokens for authentication. Let me provide a complete example of how to implement authentication in a native app using Retrofit (Android):
Copy code
kotlin import retrofit2.Call import retrofit2.Retrofit import retrofit2.converter.gson.GsonConverterFactory import retrofit2.http.GET import <http://retrofit2.http.POST|retrofit2.http.POST> import retrofit2.http.Body import retrofit2.http.Header import okhttp3.OkHttpClient  // Data classes for requests/responses data class LoginFlow(     val id: String,     val type: String,     val ui: UiContainer )  data class UiContainer(     val action: String,     val method: String,     val nodes: List<UiNode> )  data class UiNode(     val type: String,     val attributes: Map<String, Any> )  data class LoginRequest(     val identifier: String,     val password: String,     val method: String = "password" )  data class Session(     val id: String,     val identity: Identity )  data class Identity(     val id: String,     val traits: Map<String, Any> )  // Retrofit service interface interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/login/api")     fun createLoginFlow(): Call<LoginFlow>          @POST("/self-service/login")     fun submitLogin(         @Body request: LoginRequest,         @Header("X-Session-Token") sessionToken: String? = null     ): Call<Session>          @GET("/sessions/whoami")     fun checkSession(         @Header("X-Session-Token") sessionToken: String     ): Call<Session> }  // Implementation class OryClient(private val projectSlug: String) {     private val client = OkHttpClient.Builder().build()          private val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()         .baseUrl("https://$<http://projectSlug.projects.oryapis.com/%22|projectSlug.projects.oryapis.com/">)         .client(client)         .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())         .build()          private val service = retrofit.create(OryService::class.java)          // Initialize login flow     fun createLoginFlow(): LoginFlow? {         val call = service.createLoginFlow()         val response = call.execute()                  if (response.isSuccessful) {             return response.body()         }                  return null     }          // Submit login credentials     fun login(flowId: String, username: String, password: String): Session? {         val loginRequest = LoginRequest(             identifier = username,             password = password         )                  val call = service.submitLogin(loginRequest)         val response = call.execute()                  if (response.isSuccessful) {             // Store the session token securely             val session = response.body()             // session?.token contains the session token to store             return session         }                  return null     }          // Check if session is valid     fun checkSession(sessionToken: String): Session? {         val call = service.checkSession(sessionToken)         val response = call.execute()                  if (response.isSuccessful) {             return response.body()         }                  return null     } }  // Usage example fun authenticateUser(username: String, password: String) {     val oryClient = OryClient("your-project-slug")          // Step 1: Create login flow     val flow = oryClient.createLoginFlow()          // Step 2: Submit credentials     if (flow != null) {         val session = oryClient.login(flow.id, username, password)                  // Step 3: Store session token securely         if (session != null) {             // Store session.id or the session token in secure storage             // For Android: EncryptedSharedPreferences or Keystore             // For iOS: Keychain         }     } }
Remember these key points: 1. Native apps should use the
/api
endpoints, not the
/browser
endpoints 2. CSRF tokens are only used for browser-based flows, not for native apps [Native vs. browser apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/native-browser) 3. Native apps receive session tokens instead of cookies 4. Store the session token securely using platform-specific secure storage If you're implementing authentication methods that require browser capabilities (like social sign-in or passkeys), you'll need to use a system browser and handle the redirect back to your app, but that's a different flow than what you're asking about.

I notice you're having an issue with the CSRF token when calling the registration API in your Android app using Retrofit. Let me clarify something important: For native applications like Android, you should be using the
/self-service/registration/api
endpoint (which you are), but there's a key misunderstanding about CSRF tokens in this context. ## CSRF Tokens in Native Apps When using the
/api
endpoints (as opposed to
/browser
endpoints), you don't need to handle CSRF tokens at all. As the documentation states: > The application that consumes Ory APIs through its UI directly determines which API endpoints must be called and, as a result, what security measures are applied. > > Native applications, such as Android mobile apps or desktop applications, aren't rendered in the browser. Since the application isn't rendered in the browser, the CSRF cookie and token aren't necessary. [Integration basics](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration) ## Correct Implementation for Native Apps For your Android app using Retrofit, you should: 1. Call the
/self-service/registration/api
endpoint to create a registration flow 2. Extract the flow ID from the response 3. Submit the registration data to
/self-service/registration?flow=<your-flow-id>
without worrying about the CSRF token Here's a sample implementation:
Copy code
kotlin // Create the registration flow val flowResponse = oryService.createRegistrationFlow().execute() val flow = flowResponse.body() val flowId = flow?.id  // Submit registration data val registrationRequest = RegistrationRequest(     method = "password",     password = "your-password",     traits = mapOf("email" to "<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>")     // Add other required traits based on your identity schema )  // No need to include CSRF token for native apps val response = oryService.submitRegistration(flowId, registrationRequest).execute()  // Handle the response if (response.isSuccessful) {     // Registration successful, handle session     val session = response.body()     // Store session token securely }
If you're seeing a CSRF token in the response, it's because the API returns the same flow structure for both browser and native apps, but for native apps, you can safely ignore the CSRF token field. If you're still experiencing issues, make sure your Retrofit service is correctly configured to use the native app endpoints and not the browser endpoints. Let me know if you need more specific help with your implementation!

Can use the the ory to login with passkey in native mobile apps ?@chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the knowledge sources, I need to clarify an important limitation regarding passkeys in native mobile apps with Ory. Currently, Ory does not fully support using passkeys directly in native mobile applications. The documentation explicitly states: > WebAuthn is a browser standard. It does not work in native mobile apps. [Passkeys & WebAuthN - Constraints](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys#constraints) This is further confirmed by an Ory team member in a GitHub issue: > As for the Ory Network - I believe that we do not support WebAuthN on native devices for now. The current implementation of it is pretty browser focused and requires JS and browser APIs. [GitHub Issue #284](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/284) However, you can implement a workaround using a hybrid approach: 1. Create a native login flow with
return_session_token_exchange_code=true
2. When the user selects passkey authentication, open a system browser (not WebView) 3. After successful authentication in the browser, the user will be redirected back to your app 4. Exchange the session token code for a session token This approach is similar to how social sign-in works in native apps, as described in the [Social sign-in for native apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation) documentation. The key limitation is that the actual passkey authentication must happen in a browser context, as WebAuthn requires browser APIs that aren't available in native app contexts. If passkey authentication is critical for your native app, you might want to consider platform-specific biometric authentication methods as an alternative until Ory adds direct native support for passkeys.

Based on your code snippet, you're trying to extract WebAuthn credential request options from the Ory Kratos login flow response. This is related to implementing passwordless authentication with WebAuthn/passkeys in your Android application. To get this data in Android using Retrofit, you need to: 1. Call the login flow API 2. Parse the response to extract the WebAuthn configuration 3. Use this configuration to trigger the WebAuthn prompt Here's how to implement this:

kotlin // Define data classes for the response structure data class LoginFlow(     val id: String,     val type: String,     val ui: UiContainer,     val methods: Map<String, MethodConfig> )  data class MethodConfig(     val config: WebAuthnConfig? )  data class WebAuthnConfig(     val publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions: PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions )  data class PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions(     val challenge: String,     val timeout: Long,     val rpId: String,     val allowCredentials: List<AllowCredential>,     val userVerification: String )  data class AllowCredential(     val type: String,     val id: String )  // Retrofit service interface interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/login/api")     suspend fun createLoginFlow(): Response<LoginFlow> }  // Usage in your activity/fragment suspend fun initiateWebAuthnLogin() {     try {         val response = oryService.createLoginFlow()         if (response.isSuccessful) {             val loginFlow = response.body()                          // Extract WebAuthn options             val webAuthnConfig = loginFlow?.methods?.get("webauthn")?.config             val publicKeyOptions = webAuthnConfig?.publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions                          if (publicKeyOptions != null) {                 // Now you have the data to trigger WebAuthn authentication                 // This is similar to what you were extracting in your JSON snippet                 val challenge = publicKeyOptions.challenge                 val rpId = publicKeyOptions.rpId                 val allowCredentials = publicKeyOptions.allowCredentials                                  // Use these values with the WebAuthn API                 triggerWebAuthnAuthentication(publicKeyOptions)             }         }     } catch (e: Exception) {         // Handle error     } }
As mentioned in our previous conversation, WebAuthn is primarily designed for browsers. For native Android apps, you'll need to: 1. Open a system browser for the actual WebAuthn authentication 2. Handle the redirect back to your app 3. Exchange the authentication result for a session token The JSON structure you're trying to parse contains the WebAuthn challenge data that would typically be passed to the browser's
navigator.credentials.get()
function. In a native app context, you'll need to pass this data to the browser component that handles the WebAuthn authentication. For a complete implementation, you should follow the pattern described in the [passwordless authentication documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-advanced-integration#passwordless-authentication), adapting it for the native app context.

I'll provide an example of how to implement WebAuthn/passkey authentication in an Android app using Ory, based on the JSON structure you shared earlier. Here's a complete example for Android that shows how to extract the WebAuthn configuration and use it with a system browser:

Bundle?) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)         setContentView(R.layout.activity_webauthn_login)                  // Initialize Retrofit         val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()

            }                     }                 } else {                     // Handle error                 }             } catch (e: Exception) {                 // Handle exception

encodedChallenge = Base64.encodeToString(             Base64.decode(options.challenge, Base64.DEFAULT),             Base64.URL_SAFE         )                  // Create a deep link URL that will redirect back to your app         val redirectUri = "<yourapp://auth/callback>"                  // Construct the URL to the Ory hosted UI or your custom UI that handles WebAuthn         return "https://$<http://projectSlug.projects.oryapis.com/ui/login|projectSlug.projects.oryapis.com/ui/login>" +                 "?flow=$flowId" +                 "&redirect_uri=$redirectUri" +                 "&auth_method=webauthn"     }          private fun openBrowserForWebAuthn(url: String) {         // Open the system browser with the WebAuthn URL         val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))         startActivity(intent)     }          // Handle the callback from the browser     override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent) {         super.onNewIntent(intent)                  val uri = intent.data         if (uri != null && uri.toString().startsWith("<yourapp://auth/callback>")) {             // Extract the session token exchange code             val code = uri.getQueryParameter("code")                          if (code != null) {                 // Exchange the code for a session token                 exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code)             }         }     }          private fun exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code: String) {         // Implement the code exchange API call         // This would be another Retrofit call to exchange the code for a session token         // Store the session token securely for future authenticated requests     } }
To make this work, you'll need to: 1. Add the necessary dependencies to your `build.gradle`:
Copy code
gradle    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0'    implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.6.4'
2. Configure deep linking in your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
Copy code
xml    <activity android:name=".WebAuthnLoginActivity">        <intent-filter>            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />            <data android:scheme="yourapp" android:host="auth" android:pathPrefix="/callback" />        </intent-filter>    </activity>
Remember that this implementation uses a system browser for the WebAuthn authentication, as WebAuthn is not directly supported in native Android apps. The browser will redirect back to your app after authentication is complete. This approach follows the pattern described in the [Ory documentation for native apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation), adapted for WebAuthn/passkey authentication.

A message from kapa.ai
I understand you'd like a downloadable file of the Android WebAuthn implementation example I shared. Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide downloadable files directly through this chat interface. However, you can easily copy the code I provided in my previous response and save it as a Kotlin file in your Android project. The main file would be named
WebAuthnLoginActivity.kt
. For a complete implementation, you would need to: 1. Create a new Android project in Android Studio 2. Add the necessary dependencies to your
build.gradle
file 3. Create the layout file
activity_webauthn_login.xml
4. Add the deep linking configuration to your
AndroidManifest.xml
5. Copy the Kotlin code I provided into
WebAuthnLoginActivity.kt
You can also find reference implementations in Ory's GitHub repositories: - [Ory Kratos Selfservice UI Node](https://github.com/ory/kratos-selfservice-ui-node) - [Ory Kratos Selfservice UI React NextJS](https://github.com/ory/kratos-selfservice-ui-react-nextjs) These repositories contain complete implementations that you can adapt for your Android application. If you need more specific guidance on implementing certain parts of the code, please let me know and I'd be happy to provide more detailed explanations.

getting the error:- Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.amrap.mychatbot.WebAuthnMethod com.amrap.mychatbot.Methods.getWebauthn()' on a null object reference @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I see you're encountering a null pointer exception when trying to access the WebAuthn method from your Ory login flow response. This error occurs because the
methods
object or the
webauthn
property within it is null. This typically happens for one of these reasons: 1. WebAuthn might not be enabled in your Ory project configuration 2. The JSON response structure doesn't match your data classes 3. The login flow response doesn't include WebAuthn as an available method Here's how to fix this issue:
Copy code
kotlin // Update your code to handle potential null values private fun initiateWebAuthnLogin() {     CoroutineScope(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>).launch {         try {             val response = oryService.createLoginFlow(true)             if (response.isSuccessful) {                 val loginFlow = response.body()                 loginFlow?.let {                     // Check if methods and webauthn are not null                     if (it.methods?.webauthn != null) {                         val webAuthnConfig = it.methods.webauthn.config                         val publicKeyOptions = webAuthnConfig.publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions                                                  // Create a URL to open in the browser                         val browserUrl = createWebAuthnBrowserUrl(it.id, publicKeyOptions)                                                  // Switch to main thread to open browser                         CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main).launch {                             openBrowserForWebAuthn(browserUrl)                         }                     } else {                         // Handle case where WebAuthn is not available                         Log.e("WebAuthnLogin", "WebAuthn method is not available in this flow")                     }                 }             } else {                 // Handle error             }         } catch (e: Exception) {             // Handle exception             Log.e("WebAuthnLogin", "Error: ${e.message}", e)         }     } }
Also, update your data classes to make the properties nullable:
Copy code
kotlin data class Methods(     val webauthn: WebAuthnMethod? = null )
To debug this issue: 1. First, check if WebAuthn is enabled in your Ory project settings 2. Log the raw JSON response to see its actual structure:
Copy code
kotlin val responseBody = response.body() Log.d("OryResponse", "Raw response: ${Gson().toJson(responseBody)}")
3. Make sure your data classes match the actual JSON structure from the API Remember that WebAuthn might not be available as a method if: - It's not enabled in your Ory configuration - The user doesn't have any WebAuthn credentials registered - You're using an API endpoint that doesn't support WebAuthn If WebAuthn is definitely enabled in your project, you might need to adjust your data classes to match the exact structure of the Ory API response.

b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the knowledge sources, I can clarify which API endpoints support WebAuthn in Ory Kratos. To use WebAuthn in a native mobile app, you need to use the correct API endpoints. The issue you're encountering suggests you might be using an endpoint that doesn't include WebAuthn configuration in its response. For WebAuthn authentication, you should use: 1.
/self-service/login/api
- This endpoint creates a login flow that can include WebAuthn as an authentication method if it's enabled in your Ory configuration. 2. For WebAuthn JavaScript, Ory provides a specific endpoint:
Copy code
GET /.well-known/ory/webauthn.js
This endpoint provides the JavaScript needed to perform WebAuthn login and registration [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). However, there's an important limitation to be aware of: > "WebAuthn is a browser standard. It does not work in native mobile apps." [Passkeys & WebAuthN - Constraints](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/passkeys#constraints) This is further confirmed by an Ory team member: > "We do not support WebAuthN on native devices for now. The current implementation of it is pretty browser focused and requires JS and browser APIs." [GitHub Issue #284](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/284) For native apps, the recommended approach is to: 1. Create a login flow with the API endpoint 2. Open a system browser (not WebView) for the actual WebAuthn authentication 3. Handle the redirect back to your app after authentication Make sure WebAuthn is properly enabled in your Ory configuration:
Copy code
selfservice:   methods:     webauthn:       enabled: true       config:         passwordless: false         rp:           id: <http://example.org|example.org>           origins:             - <http://auth.example.org:4455>           display_name: Ory
If you're still having issues, you might want to check if your Ory project has WebAuthn properly configured and enabled.

Open a system browser (not WebView) for the actual WebAuthn authentication how to do this @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
To open a system browser (not WebView) for WebAuthn authentication in a native mobile app, you need to use the platform-specific APIs. Here's how to do this in Android: ## Opening a System Browser in Android
Copy code
kotlin import android.content.Intent import android.net.Uri import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity  class WebAuthnActivity : AppCompatActivity() {          private fun openSystemBrowserForWebAuthn(url: String) {         // Create an intent with ACTION_VIEW         val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))                  // Ensure we're using the system browser, not an in-app WebView         intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)                  // Optional: Force the use of the system browser         intent.setPackage("com.android.chrome") // For Chrome         // If Chrome isn't available, fall back to the default browser         if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) == null) {             intent.setPackage(null)         }                  // Start the activity         startActivity(intent)     } }
## Using Custom Tabs (Recommended Approach) For a better user experience, you can use Chrome Custom Tabs which provide a more integrated experience while still using the system browser capabilities:
Copy code
kotlin import androidx.browser.customtabs.CustomTabsIntent import android.net.Uri  fun openCustomTabForWebAuthn(url: String) {     val customTabsIntent = CustomTabsIntent.Builder()         .setShowTitle(true)         .build()          customTabsIntent.launchUrl(context, Uri.parse(url)) }
For this approach, add the dependency to your `build.gradle`:
Copy code
gradle implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.4.0'
## Handling the Redirect Back to Your App To handle the redirect back to your app after authentication: 1. Define a custom URL scheme in your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
Copy code
xml <activity android:name=".CallbackActivity">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />         <data android:scheme="yourapp" android:host="callback" />     </intent-filter> </activity>
2. Create the callback URL to include in your authentication request:
Copy code
kotlin val callbackUrl = "<yourapp://callback>" val authUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui/login?flow=$flowId&return_to=$callbackUrl|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui/login?flow=$flowId&return_to=$callbackUrl>"
3. Handle the incoming intent in your `CallbackActivity`:
Copy code
kotlin override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)          val uri = intent.data     if (uri != null && uri.scheme == "yourapp") {         // Extract parameters from the URI         val code = uri.getQueryParameter("code")                  // Exchange the code for a session token         if (code != null) {             exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code)         }     } }
This approach follows the pattern described in the [Social sign-in for native apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation) documentation, which uses a similar browser-based authentication flow. Remember that WebAuthn requires browser capabilities and cannot be implemented directly in native apps without using a browser component.

404 found @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I see you're encountering a "404 Not Found" error when working with Ory. This is a common HTTP error that indicates the requested resource could not be found on the server. Based on the Ory API documentation, 404 errors are standard responses for many Ory endpoints when the requested resource doesn't exist. The error response follows Ory's standard JSON API error format:
Copy code
json {   "error": {     "debug": "The database adapter was unable to find the element",     "error": "The requested resource could not be found",     "error_description": "Object with ID 12345 does not exist",     "message": "The requested resource could not be found",     "status_code": 404   } }
Common causes for 404 errors in Ory include: 1. Incorrect project slug or domain in your API URL 2. Trying to access a flow that has expired or doesn't exist 3. Attempting to retrieve a non-existent identity, session, or project 4. Using an incorrect or outdated API endpoint 5. Typos in your URL path To troubleshoot this issue: 1. Double-check your API URL and project slug 2. Verify that the resource ID you're trying to access exists 3. Ensure you're using the correct API version 4. Check if the flow you're trying to access hasn't expired (flows like login, registration, etc. have expiration times) 5. Confirm you're using the correct endpoint for your application type (browser vs. API) If you can provide more specific details about which endpoint you're calling and the complete error response, I can give you more targeted assistance.

how to implement the below in android app 1. http(s)//&lt;domain of ory kratos&gt;<public-port>/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/<social-signin-provider-id> @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I understand you're asking how to implement social sign-in with Ory Kratos in an Android app. The URL you've provided is the callback URL that Ory uses for social sign-in providers, but implementing this in a native Android app requires a specific approach. For native mobile apps, you need to use a different flow than browser-based applications. Here's how to implement social sign-in in an Android app: ## Implementation Steps for Social Sign-in in Android 1. Create an API-based flow (not browser-based):
Copy code
kotlin interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/login/api")     suspend fun createLoginFlow(         @Query("return_session_token_exchange_code") returnCode: Boolean = true     ): Response<LoginFlow> }  // Usage val response = oryService.createLoginFlow(true) val loginFlow = response.body()
2. Extract the social sign-in provider information:
Copy code
kotlin // Find the social sign-in provider (e.g., "google", "github") val providers = loginFlow.ui.nodes     .filter { it.group == "oidc" }     .map { it.attributes["value"].toString() }
3. Open a system browser for the authentication (not WebView):
Copy code
kotlin // Create the URL for the selected provider val providerId = "google" // Or whichever provider the user selected val browserUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/auth/$providerId?flow=${loginFlow.id}|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/auth/$providerId?flow=${loginFlow.id}>"  // Open system browser val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(browserUrl)) startActivity(intent)
4. Configure deep linking to handle the redirect back to your app: In your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
Copy code
xml <activity android:name=".CallbackActivity">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />         <data android:scheme="yourapp" android:host="callback" />     </intent-filter> </activity>
5. Exchange the code for a session token in your callback activity:
Copy code
kotlin override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)          val uri = intent.data     if (uri != null && uri.scheme == "yourapp") {         val code = uri.getQueryParameter("code")         if (code != null) {             // Exchange code for session token             exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code)         }     } }  private fun exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code: String) {     CoroutineScope(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>).launch {         try {             val response = oryService.exchangeSessionToken(code)             if (response.isSuccessful) {                 val sessionToken = response.body()?.session_token                 // Store session token securely                 secureStorage.saveSessionToken(sessionToken)                                  // Navigate to main screen                 startActivity(Intent(this@CallbackActivity, MainActivity::class.java))                 finish()             }         } catch (e: Exception) {             // Handle error         }     } }
This approach follows the pattern described in the [Social sign-in for native apps](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/native-apps#implementation) documentation. Remember that for native apps, you don't directly implement the callback URL you mentioned. Instead, you configure a deep link in your app and use the system browser for the authentication flow, which will then redirect back to your app.

How to implement the create passkey functionality like socialmedia login in native android app @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
# Implementing Passkey Creation in Native Android Apps Based on the knowledge sources, implementing passkey creation in a native Android app with Ory follows a similar pattern to social media login, but with some key differences. ## Current Limitations First, it's important to understand the current limitations: > "We do not support WebAuthN on native devices for now. The current implementation of it is pretty browser focused and requires JS and browser APIs." [GitHub Issue #284](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/284) This means you'll need to use a browser-based approach for passkey creation, similar to how social sign-in works in native apps. ## Implementation Steps Here's how to implement passkey creation in your Android app: ### 1. Create a Registration Flow
Copy code
kotlin interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/registration/api")     suspend fun createRegistrationFlow(         @Query("return_session_token_exchange_code") returnCode: Boolean = true     ): Response<RegistrationFlow> }  // Usage val response = oryService.createRegistrationFlow(true) val registrationFlow = response.body()
### 2. Open a System Browser for Passkey Creation Since WebAuthn requires browser APIs, you need to open a system browser:
Copy code
kotlin // Create the URL for passkey registration val flowId = registrationFlow.id val callbackUrl = "<yourapp://callback>" val browserUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui/registration?flow=$flowId&return_to=$callbackUrl|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui/registration?flow=$flowId&return_to=$callbackUrl>"  // Open system browser (not WebView) val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(browserUrl)) startActivity(intent)  // Alternatively, use Chrome Custom Tabs for better UX val customTabsIntent = CustomTabsIntent.Builder().build() customTabsIntent.launchUrl(context, Uri.parse(browserUrl))
### 3. Configure Deep Linking In your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
Copy code
xml <activity android:name=".CallbackActivity">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />         <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />         <data android:scheme="yourapp" android:host="callback" />     </intent-filter> </activity>
### 4. Handle the Callback
Copy code
kotlin override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)          val uri = intent.data     if (uri != null && uri.scheme == "yourapp") {         val code = uri.getQueryParameter("code")         if (code != null) {             // Exchange code for session token             exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code)         }     } }  private fun exchangeCodeForSessionToken(code: String) {     CoroutineScope(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>).launch {         try {             val response = oryService.exchangeSessionToken(code)             if (response.isSuccessful) {                 val sessionToken = response.body()?.session_token                 // Store session token securely                 secureStorage.saveSessionToken(sessionToken)                                  // Navigate to main screen                 startActivity(Intent(this@CallbackActivity, MainActivity::class.java))                 finish()             }         } catch (e: Exception) {             // Handle error         }     } }
## Configuration in Ory Before implementing this, ensure passkeys are enabled in your Ory project: 1. Go to AuthenticationPasswordless login in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/passwordless) 2. Toggle the switch for Enable Passkey authentication Alternatively, use the Ory CLI:
Copy code
ory patch identity-config <your-project-id> \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/enabled=true' \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/config/rp/display_name="My Display Name"'
## Summary The implementation for passkey creation follows the same pattern as social sign-in in native apps: 1. Create a flow with
return_session_token_exchange_code=true
2. Open a system browser for the actual WebAuthn/passkey creation 3. Handle the redirect back to your app via deep linking 4. Exchange the code for a session token This approach is necessary because WebAuthn is a browser standard and requires browser APIs that aren't directly available in native apps.

provide RegistrationFlow Model @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the Ory documentation, here's a Kotlin data model for the
RegistrationFlow
that you can use in your Android application:
Copy code
kotlin data class RegistrationFlow(     val id: String,     val type: String,     val expires_at: String,     val issued_at: String,     val request_url: String,     val ui: UiContainer,     val active: String? = null,     val oauth2_login_challenge: String? = null,     val methods: Map<String, MethodConfig>? = null )  data class UiContainer(     val action: String,     val method: String,     val nodes: List<UiNode> )  data class UiNode(     val type: String,     val group: String,     val attributes: UiNodeAttributes,     val messages: List<UiNodeMessage> = emptyList(),     val meta: Map<String, Any>? = null )  data class UiNodeAttributes(     val name: String,     val type: String,     val value: String? = null,     val required: Boolean = false,     val disabled: Boolean = false,     val node_type: String,     val autocomplete: String? = null )  data class UiNodeMessage(     val id: Long,     val text: String,     val type: String,     val context: Map<String, Any>? = null )  data class MethodConfig(     val config: Any? = null )
This model corresponds to the registration flow response structure as shown in the [Ory documentation for registration flows](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#create-registration-flow). You can use this model with Retrofit to deserialize the response from the Ory API when creating a registration flow:
Copy code
kotlin interface OryService {     @GET("/self-service/registration/api")     suspend fun createRegistrationFlow(         @Query("return_session_token_exchange_code") returnCode: Boolean = true     ): Response<RegistrationFlow> }
The model includes all the essential fields needed to handle registration in your native Android application, including support for different authentication methods like password, WebAuthn/passkeys, and social sign-in.

we are not using the ory console for configuration setup @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I understand that you're not using the Ory Console for configuration setup. That's completely fine - Ory provides multiple ways to configure your project. If you're not using the Ory Console, you can configure Ory using: 1. Ory CLI: You can use the Ory Command Line Interface to manage your configuration:
Copy code
ory patch identity-config <your-project-id> \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/enabled=true' \   --add '/selfservice/methods/passkey/config/rp/display_name="My Display Name"'
2. Configuration files: For self-hosted Ory Kratos, you can directly edit the configuration files:
Copy code
yaml selfservice:   methods:     passkey:       enabled: true       config:         rp:           display_name: Your Application name           # Set 'id' to the top-level domain           id: localhost           # Set 'origin' to the exact URL of the page that prompts the user to use WebAuthn           origins:             - <http://localhost:4455>
3. API-based configuration: You can also use Ory's configuration APIs to update settings programmatically. For implementing passkeys in your native Android app, the approach remains the same regardless of how you configure Ory - you'll still need to: 1. Create a registration/login flow 2. Open a system browser for WebAuthn/passkey operations 3. Handle the redirect back to your app 4. Exchange the code for a session token The key point is that WebAuthn/passkeys require browser capabilities, so the system browser approach is necessary regardless of how you configure your Ory project. Is there a specific aspect of the configuration or implementation you'd like me to elaborate on?

in system browser we are getting the json response instead of passkey fun val webAuthnUrl = "$oryKratosEndpoint/self-service/registration?flow=$flowId" @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I see the issue you're encountering. When you're opening the system browser with the URL
$oryKratosEndpoint/self-service/registration?flow=$flowId
, you're getting a JSON response instead of the expected passkey registration functionality. This happens because you're using the API endpoint directly in the browser, rather than a UI endpoint that would render the WebAuthn/passkey interface. Here's how to fix this: 1. You need to use the UI URL configured for registration, not the API endpoint:
Copy code
kotlin // Instead of: val webAuthnUrl = "$oryKratosEndpoint/self-service/registration?flow=$flowId"  // Use: val webAuthnUrl = "$oryKratosEndpoint/ui/registration?flow=$flowId"
If you're self-hosting Ory Kratos and don't have a UI endpoint configured, you'll need to: 1. Configure a UI URL in your Kratos configuration:
Copy code
yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       ui_url: <http://your-ui-domain.com/registration>
2. Implement a UI that can handle the WebAuthn registration process. This UI will receive the flow ID, fetch the flow data, and render the appropriate interface for passkey registration. If you're seeing a JSON response in the browser, it means: 1. Either you're hitting the API endpoint directly 2. Or you haven't configured a UI URL in your Kratos setup For a complete implementation, you should: 1. Create the registration flow using the API endpoint 2. Open the system browser with the UI URL (not the API endpoint) 3. Ensure your UI implementation properly handles WebAuthn/passkey registration 4. Handle the redirect back to your app after successful registration Remember that the WebAuthn functionality requires JavaScript in the browser to work properly, which is why you need a proper UI implementation, not just the raw API endpoint. [Form rendering](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service#form-rendering) in the Ory documentation explains how the UI should use the flow ID to fetch and render the appropriate form. Let me know if you need more specific guidance on implementing the UI part!

https://xyz.com/login?flow=58e5dcfe-4640-4c2b-b914-180d8819c934 getting only 'Send sign in code' option in system browser not signin with passkey @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
I see you're encountering an issue where the system browser is only showing the "Send sign in code" option and not the "Sign in with passkey" option when accessing the login flow. This typically happens for one of several reasons: 1. Passkey method is not enabled in your Ory Kratos configuration. You need to ensure that the passkey authentication method is enabled:
Copy code
yaml selfservice:   methods:     passkey:       enabled: true       config:         rp:           display_name: Your Application name           id: localhost           origins:             - <http://localhost:4455>
2. No passkeys are registered for the user account you're trying to log in with. Passkey login will only appear as an option if: - The user has previously registered a passkey with this account - The browser/device can detect a compatible passkey 3. Browser compatibility issues - not all browsers fully support passkeys. Make sure you're using a modern browser that supports the WebAuthn standard. 4. Configuration issues with WebAuthn - the
rp.id
(Relying Party ID) must match the domain you're using, and the
origins
must include the exact URL of your login page. To troubleshoot: 1. First, check if passkeys are properly enabled in your configuration 2. Try registering a passkey first (if you haven't already) before attempting to log in with it 3. Verify that your browser supports WebAuthn/passkeys 4. Check the browser console for any JavaScript errors related to WebAuthn If you've confirmed all these settings are correct, you might want to examine the login flow response to see if it includes the passkey method:
Copy code
GET /self-service/login/flows?id=58e5dcfe-4640-4c2b-b914-180d8819c934
The response should include a
methods
object with a
passkey
property if it's available as an authentication option.

is there any particular api for passkey to open the ui in system browser? @chilly-king-10285
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, there isn't a specific API endpoint dedicated solely to passkey authentication in the system browser. Instead, you need to use the standard Ory Kratos flow endpoints with the correct configuration. For opening the passkey UI in a system browser from your native Android app, you should: 1. First create a registration or login flow using the API endpoint:
Copy code
kotlin // For registration with passkey val response = oryService.createRegistrationFlow(returnSessionTokenExchangeCode = true) val flowId = response.body()?.id  // For login with passkey val response = oryService.createLoginFlow(returnSessionTokenExchangeCode = true) val flowId = response.body()?.id
2. Then open the system browser with the UI URL that includes this flow ID:
Copy code
kotlin // For a self-hosted Kratos instance val browserUrl = "$oryKratosEndpoint/ui/registration?flow=$flowId" // OR val browserUrl = "$oryKratosEndpoint/ui/login?flow=$flowId"  // Open system browser val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(browserUrl)) startActivity(intent)
The key point is that you need to: 1. Make sure passkeys are enabled in your Ory configuration 2. Use the UI URL (not the API endpoint) in the system browser 3. Configure your UI to properly handle WebAuthn/passkey functionality If you're seeing only "Send sign in code" and not passkey options, it's likely because: - Passkeys aren't properly enabled in your configuration - No passkeys have been registered for the account - The UI implementation doesn't properly support passkeys Remember that WebAuthn/passkeys require browser capabilities and JavaScript, which is why you need to use a system browser rather than trying to implement this directly in your native app. Is there a specific issue you're encountering with the current approach?
