5️⃣ User and device management

The Keyless SDK "caches" the enrolled user locally on the device.

There are some use cases where it is possible to delete the user from server API and delete the device from server API. The Keyless SDK will not be notified about such deletions. For this reason if you try to authenticate a user or a device that have been deleted from server API you will get an error.

Call validateUserAndDeviceActive before authenticating, to validate that both the user and the device are still active in the Keyless backend, to avoid asking the user for biometric data which will still not let them authenticate.

Keyless.validateUserAndDeviceActive(
    onCompletion = { result ->
        when (result) {
            is Keyless.KeylessResult.Success -> Log.d("KeylessSDK ", "user and device active")
            is Keyless.KeylessResult.Failure -> Log.d("KeylessSDK ", "user or device not ofund - error code ${result.error.code}")
            // error code 1131 = user is not enrolled on the device (not even locally so did not check on backend)
            // error code 534 = user not found or deactivated on backend
            // error code 535 = device not found or deactivated on backend
        }
    }
)

Keyless.validateUserDeviceActive(
    completionHandler: { error in
        if let error = error {
            print("user or device deactivated")
            // error code 1131 = user is not enrolled on the device (not even locally so did not check on backend)
            // error code 534 = user not found or deactivated on backend
            // error code 535 = device not found or deactivated on backend
        } else {
            print("user and device active")
        }
    }
)

try {
  await Keyless.validateUserAndDeviceActive();
  print("user and device active");
} catch (error) {
  print("user or device deactivated - error code: ${error.code}");
  // error code 1131 = user is not enrolled on the device (not even locally so did not check on backend)
  // error code 534 = user not found or deactivated on backend
  // error code 535 = device not found or deactivated on backend
}

import Keyless from '@react-native-keyless/sdk';

const validateUserAndDevice = async () => {
  const result = await Keyless.validateUserAndDeviceActive();

  result.fold({
    onSuccess: () => {
      console.log("user and device active");
    },
    onFailure: (error) => {
      console.error(`user or device deactivated - error code: ${error.code}`);
      // error code 1131 = user is not enrolled on the device (not even locally)
      // error code 534 = user not found or deactivated on backend
      // error code 535 = device not found or deactivated on backend
    }
  });
};

User identifier

Retrieve the user identifier with Keyless.getUserId():

fun getUserId(): KeylessResult<String, KeylessSdkError>

import Keyless from '@react-native-keyless/sdk';

const getUserId = async () => {
  const result = await Keyless.getUserId();

  result.fold({
    onSuccess: (userId) => {
      console.log("User ID:", userId);
    },
    onFailure: (error) => {
      console.error("Failed to get user ID:", error);
    },
  });
};

Device identifier

The device is identified by its public signing key. To retrieve the public signing key use Keyless.getDevicePublicSigningKey():

fun getDevicePublicSigningKey(): KeylessResult<ByteArray, KeylessSdkError>

import Keyless from '@react-native-keyless/sdk';

const getDevicePublicSigningKey = async () => {
  const result = await Keyless.getDevicePublicSigningKey();

  result.fold({
    onSuccess: (key) => {
      console.log("Device public key:", key);
    },
    onFailure: (error) => {
      console.error("Failed to get device public key:", error);
    },
  });
};

Keyless SDK reset

Resetting the Keyless SDK to a clean state deletes local data from the device, but does not de-enroll the user from the Keyless backend or deactivate the device from the Keyless backend:

fun reset(
  onCompletion: (KeylessResult<Unit, KeylessSdkError>) -> Unit
)

import Keyless from '@react-native-keyless/sdk';

const resetSdk = async () => {
  const result = await Keyless.reset();

  result.fold({
    onSuccess: () => {
      console.log("SDK reset successfully");
    },
    onFailure: (error) => {
      console.error("SDK reset failed:", error);
    },
  });
};

Lockout management

The getRateLimitInfo API checks whether the user is currently rate-limited and, if so, for how many seconds. This API is typically used to provide feedback to users after multiple failed authentication attempts.

Keyless.getRateLimitInfo { result ->
    when (result) {
        is Keyless.KeylessResult.Success -> {
            val rateLimitInfo = result.value
            println("User is rate limited: ${rateLimitInfo.isRateLimited} with remaining seconds: ${rateLimitInfo.remainingSeconds}")
        }
        is Keyless.KeylessResult.Failure -> {
            println("Error: ${result.error.message}")
        }
    }
}

Keyless.getRateLimitInfo(completion: { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let success):
        print("User is rate limited: \(success.isRateLimited) with remaining seconds: \(success.remainingSeconds)")
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Error: \(error.message)")
    }
})

try {
    final rateLimitInfo = await Keyless.instance.getRateLimitInfo();
    print("User is rate limited: ${rateLimitInfo.isRateLimited} with remaining seconds: ${rateLimitInfo.remainingSeconds}");
} catch (error) {
    print("Error: $error");
}

import Keyless from '@react-native-keyless/sdk';

const getRateLimitInfo = async () => {
  const result = await Keyless.getRateLimitInfo();

  result.fold({
    onSuccess: (info) => {
      console.log(`User is rate limited: ${info.isRateLimited}, remaining seconds: ${info.remainingSeconds}`);
    },
    onFailure: (error) => {
      console.error("Error fetching rate limit info:", error);
    },
  });
};
