Registering your domain

The service is enabled for a domain by creating an account and registering your domain name on the admin website.

The website itself integrates the features exposed by the API. You create an account by registering a key using a Fido2 compatible device. In practice nearly all smartphones and many laptop have already this capability through fingerprint or facial recognition. Otherwise a security key can be used as well.

After creating an account and authenticating successfully, you get redirected to the domains page. This is where you can see your already registered domains and register new ones.

When registering a domain, an activation code is generated and needs to be copied in the domain’s DNS TXT records.

A background task will regularly check for this activation code in the DNS TXT records of the domain and disable the service in case it is not found.

At that point the service is activated for your domain and you can start integrating the API.
