Getting started with Hanko Authenticator

Prerequisites and setup for registering, authenticating, and de-registering devices with the Hanko Authenticator app.

This guide demonstrates how you can use the Hanko API and Hanko Authenticator to

• REGISTER a device
• AUTHENTICATE with a device
• CONFIRM TRANSACTIONS with a device

Note that this section is not accompanied by a sample application. We will use manual HTTP requests using an HTTP client to exemplify the required interactions with the Hanko API. For the purpose of properly contextualizing the processes, we still assume the participation of a relying party application.
