dsg3h (dsg3h) asked a question.
I created an application which I am using to enroll and activate webauthn factors with the (Core) factors API.
With the activated factors, my users are able to sign in using the Okta UI.
I would like to be able to sign my application users in using the API as well, and obtain a JWT access token.
I can't seem to find a way to implement this scenario in the documentation.
Thank you !

Hello @paul.stiniguta1.508386743840768E12 (Okta, Inc.) - Thank you for your answer. To clarify my request , I would like to enable passwordless sign-in with the API. I can currently only do that with the UI.
Looking at the page you shared, it doesn't look like there is an example for passwordless. Could you please pinpoint it if possible ?
Thank you !
Hello @dsg3h (dsg3h) Please see this article that provides the steps :

Thank you @paul.stiniguta1.508386743840768E12 (Okta, Inc.) , I had followed the same steps and got the verification to work. However, authenticating means retrieving an access token for the user which the article does not cover at the end.
Do you have any Okta resources which cover this scenario or clearly state that it is not supported ?
Thank you !
@dsg3h (dsg3h) Unfortunately I don't, my advice would be to reach out via devforum.okta.com to take advantage of their expertise.
