Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

A Django authentication backend that adds WebAuthn passkey support, enabling passwordless login via biometrics or security keys. It's interesting because it implements modern authentication standards like Conditional UI and immediate mediation for frictionless sign-in, and supports both traditional Django templates and REST APIs.
