Getting Started

Presence is a tool that simplifies the use of Web Authentication, allowing you to rapidly experiment with integrations in your own applications as well as learning more about how to make the most of this exciting new technology.

Before starting make sure you're signed up to Presence and logged in to your account!

  1. Add your domain in the 'Domains & API keys' screen. This can include development domains such as localhost, yourwebsite.dev, test.example.com, example.com.

  2. Get your API keys. You will receive a public key and secret key for your domain. Make sure to keep your secret key private as this is used to control users being added to your account.

  3. Download and setup the demo. This is the fastest and simplest way to see Presence running in just a few minutes.

  4. Once you've seen Web Authentication in action in your own local environment, it's a good point to move on to the more advanced integrations through Using the javascript library and Using the API.
