Changes

Adds identifier verification (OTP) support to passkey signup, using @auth0/auth0-auth-js v1.17.0.

  • Granular flow: getSignupChallenge() returns verificationRequired, and getTokenWithPasskey() takes a new verification option with the codes.
  • Step-up flow: signup() throws a new PasskeyVerificationRequiredError (extends GenericError). Call the new continueSignup(codes) to finish.
  • Wrong OTP: throws a retryable PasskeyGetTokenError (isRetryable, authSession, verificationRequired). continueSignup() reuses the same passkey, so no second biometric prompt.
  • GenericError.data: new optional field with the other fields of the token endpoint error response.

Other errors are unchanged. Docs updated in examples/passkeys.md.

References

Testing

Unit tests added. Tested manually on a test tenant: wrong code then right code, for both getTokenWithPasskey() and continueSignup().

  • This change adds unit test coverage
  • This change adds integration test coverage
  • This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Passkey signup can pause for required identifier verification before credential creation, with challenges indicating which identifiers need verification.
    • Signup can continue with verification codes and retry eligible failures while reusing the pending passkey and session.
    • Passkey token requests accept verification codes, with clearer verification-required and retryable error handling.
    • Signup challenge requests support selecting SMS or voice delivery methods.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for identifier verification, retry limits, delivery methods, and handling verification errors.

📝 Walkthrough

Passkey signup now supports identifier verification before credential creation. Token requests can include verification codes. Retryable token failures preserve signup state for another attempt. The client exposes errors for required verification and token-exchange failures.

Changes: Passkey verification flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verification and token-error contracts
src/passkey/types.ts, src/errors.ts, src/index.ts, src/http.ts, src/Auth0Client.ts, __tests__/http.test.ts, __tests__/Auth0Client/requestTokenForPasskey.test.ts, package.json
Public types and exports add verification data and PasskeyVerificationRequiredError. The HTTP layer preserves additional error-response data. Token requests convert qualifying responses into retryable PasskeyGetTokenError instances and pass other errors through. The Auth0 dependency requirement changes to ^1.17.0.
Signup challenge and pending state
src/passkey/PasskeyApiClient.ts, __tests__/passkey/PasskeyApiClient.test.ts
Signup challenges expose required identifiers. When verification is needed, signup stores its session and prepared WebAuthn options, then throws PasskeyVerificationRequiredError. Tests verify the related signup behavior.
Verification submission and retry
src/Auth0Client.ts, src/passkey/PasskeyApiClient.ts, __tests__/passkey/PasskeyApiClient.test.ts, examples/passkeys.md
Token requests accept verification codes. continueSignup() reuses the saved credential and updated session after a retryable failure. Tests and documentation describe retry behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ba87a

Unusual token errors may be presented as retryable, and overlapping signup attempts can resume the wrong session. These bounded issues warrant correction or explicit acceptance before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba87a

An older signup continuation can restore its state after a newer signup starts, causing subsequent verification attempts to target the superseded signup. The exposure requires overlapping operations on the same client. Token verification remains in place; no OTP bypass or account takeover was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Pending signup state is not owned by a particular operation. If continuation A awaits credential creation or token exchange while signup B installs a new pending challenge, A's cancellation, credential failure, or retryable token failure can overwrite B with A's session and routing parameters. The next continuation then targets the superseded signup rather than the identity currently being enrolled. Server-side rejection may contain the outcome, but the client no longer preserves authentication-flow identity across recovery.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated concurrency exposure concerns overlapping flows sharing one PasskeyApiClient instance. Superseded state carries its original session, credential, realm, organization, scope, and audience. No independent remote trigger, cross-tenant compromise, or privilege escalation was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A reachable interleaving is: continuation A consumes its pending state and awaits; signup B installs another challenge; A then fails recoverably and restores A over B. Subsequent codes collected for B are submitted against A's restored session. This supports an authentication-flow ownership concern, not a verified OTP bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The continuation sends its captured session, credential, and verification payload together; it does not splice a newer session into an older credential. Successful tokens still undergo ID-token verification before cache storage. These controls constrain the concurrency concern but do not resolve pending-state ownership.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Retry tests establish updated-session propagation and credential reuse without another creation prompt. Cancellation and credential-failure tests establish sequential recovery. Those are useful containment guarantees, but they do not exercise recovery after another signup has taken ownership of the client.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Give each signup an operation identity and permit pending-state installation or restoration only while that operation still owns the lifecycle. Define whether starting another signup cancels older work or rejects overlap, including the handling of already-issued token requests.

Keep the pending signup when credential creation fails.

Line 308 clears #pendingSignup before navigator.credentials.create() runs. If the user cancels the prompt or create() rejects, the pending state is already gone. The next continueSignup() call then throws no_pending_signup, and the user must restart signup() and verify again. Restore pending on these failure paths.

The conversion predicate does not check the token error code. An invalid_request response that contains both auth_session and verification_required would therefore become a retryable PasskeyGetTokenError, contrary to the stated contract that only incorrect or expired verification-code failures use that error and other errors remain unchanged.

Guard pending-state restoration against a newer signup.

continueSignup() clears #pendingSignup before its asynchronous WebAuthn and token operations. A newer signup() can install a different pending challenge while either operation is waiting. The old continuation then unconditionally restores its old session on cancellation, credential failure, or a retryable token error. The next continueSignup() can therefore send the old authSession, credential, and verification data to the token endpoint.

Track the signup generation and restore state only when the continuation still owns it.

     authSession: string;

     if (!window.PublicKeyCredential) {
       throw new PasskeyError('passkey_not_supported', 'WebAuthn is not supported in this browser.');

Review comment at @src/passkey/PasskeyApiClient.ts around lines 361 - 372:
Track a signup generation in the passkey client and capture the continuation’s
generation in continueSignup() before clearing #pendingSignup. Increment the
generation when signup() starts, and restore pending state after credential
failure, cancellation, or retryable PasskeyGetTokenError only when the
generation still matches and #pendingSignup remains null; apply the same
ownership guard to the retryable-token restoration block.

Valid, but it's a rare edge case. It only happens if signup() is called again while continueSignup() is still waiting, and the worst case is the next continueSignup() fails and the user starts over. We'll fix it in a follow-up.

@yogeshchoudhary147 Understood. Deferring this edge case to a follow-up is reasonable. Would you like me to open a GitHub issue to track it?

"expired" shouldn't be here: an expired code isn't retryable.
Suggest "(wrong code, session still active)", and we can mention expired codes in the last row (line 362) instead ("for example an expired code or session").

Done, moved "expired code" to the last row as you suggested.

### Changes

Adds identifier verification (OTP) support to `useAuth0().passkey` for
passkey signup, using `@auth0/auth0-spa-js` v2.29.0.

- **Step-up flow:** when identifier verification is on for the
connection, `signup()` throws `PasskeyVerificationRequiredError` before
the passkey prompt. Its `verificationRequired` property lists the
identifiers to verify (for example `['email']`). Call the new
`passkey.continueSignup(codes)` to finish.
- **Wrong OTP:** `continueSignup()` throws a `PasskeyGetTokenError` with
`isRetryable: true`. Retrying reuses the same passkey, so the user
doesn't see a second biometric prompt.
- **State:** `continueSignup()` updates `isAuthenticated` and `user` in
the same way as `signup()` and `login()`. Errors are rethrown to the
caller.
- **Exports:** `PasskeyVerificationRequiredError`.
- **Dependency:** `@auth0/auth0-spa-js` goes from `^2.28.2` to
`^2.29.0`.

No breaking changes. `EXAMPLES.md` has a new Identifier Verification
section covering the flow, which errors can be retried, what happens on
a page reload, and the phone `deliveryMethod` option.

### References

- auth0/auth0-spa-js#1802

### Testing

Unit tests added in `__tests__/passkey.test.tsx`. Tested manually on a
test tenant with email and phone OTP: a wrong code, then the right code,
with `continueSignup()`.

- [x] This change adds unit test coverage
- [x] This change has been tested on the latest version of the
platform/language
