Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API

Modern mobile applications increasingly rely on biometric authentication to provide secure and convenient user experiences. With the Capacitor Biometrics plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful biometric authentication capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, enabling fingerprint, face, and iris recognition across Android, iOS, and Web platforms through a unified API that simplifies the complexity of platform-specific biometric implementations.

Exploring the Capacitor NFC API

Near Field Communication (NFC) has become an essential technology for modern mobile applications, enabling seamless interactions between devices and smart objects. With the Capacitor NFC plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful NFC capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, bridging the gap between web technologies and native device features through a unified NFC API that works seamlessly across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web.

How to Securely Store Credentials with Capacitor

A common requirement for mobile apps is the secure storage of credentials such as passwords, tokens, or API keys, as well as user authentication via biometric features like fingerprints or facial recognition. Previously, this was straightforward to implement using the Identity Vault and Secure Storage solutions from the Ionic team, particularly in enterprise environments. However, these plugins will no longer be maintained in the future. Therefore, we want to demonstrate how to achieve a similar solution using our brand-new Capacitor Biometrics and Capacitor Secure Preferences plugins.

Announcing the Capacitor Secure Preferences Plugin

Today we are excited to announce our brand new Capacitor Secure Preferences plugin. This plugin is a drop-in replacement for the official Capacitor Preferences plugin and allows you to securely store key/value pairs such as passwords, tokens or other sensitive information. The plugin provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS and Web and is now available to all Capawesome Insiders.
