Passwordless authentication with cryptographic identity files validates user identities by hashing the private key using SHA-256 and exchanging that hash with the server. The raw key is never transmitted, ensuring secure identity management without traditional passwords.

Yes, session state management writes authentication tokens and user details directly to sessionStorage. This maintains your secure login session locally within the browser after the cryptographic identity file is successfully validated.

Transmitting a hashed private key is secure because the SHA-256 hashing process ensures your raw cryptographic key is never sent to the server. Only the resulting hash is exchanged via a POST request to authenticate your session.

To log in, you upload or drag and drop your `clawchives_identity_alice.json` file into the application. The system instantly validates the cryptographic identity file and authenticates you without requiring a username or password.

The SHA-256 hashing approach for identity management requires users to maintain access to their specific cryptographic identity file. If the JSON file is lost, passwordless authentication cannot proceed, as traditional password recovery options are not supported.

Yes, the passwordless login flow operates independently without external dependencies. It relies entirely on built-in scripts to handle cryptographic validation, SHA-256 hashing, and POST request exchanges for secure authentication.
