IdentityCredential: token property

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The token read-only property of the IdentityCredential interface returns the token used to validate the associated sign-in.

Value

A string.

Examples

Relying parties (RPs) can call navigator.credentials.get() with the identity option to make a request for users to sign in to the RP via an identity provider (IdP), using identity federation. A typical request would look like this:

js

async function signIn() {
  const identityCredential = await navigator.credentials.get({
    identity: {
      providers: [
        {
          configURL: "https://accounts.idp.example/config.json",
          clientId: "********",
          nonce: "******",
        },
      ],
    },
  });

  console.log(identityCredential.token);
}

A successful navigator.credentials.get() call that includes an identity option fulfills with an IdentityCredential instance, which can be used to access the token used to validate the sign-in.

Check out Federated Credential Management API (FedCM) for more details on how this works. This call will start off the sign-in flow described in FedCM sign-in flow.
