hi corporatei,

sodium is a php extension and you need to install to use WP-WebAuthn. We’ll enchance the extension checking UI later.

Hi there,

ajax_create_response: (ERROR)The extension “sodium” is not available. Please install it to use this method

Was I supposed to go into cPanel and configure this in the PHP settings?

Hi,

I’m not a cPanel user, but I found this article and it may be helpful: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360056786594-How-to-install-the-libsodium-cryptographic-library-and-PHP-extension-on-cPanel

Sodium is modern encryption/decryption library. WP-WebAuthn use it to keep logging-in process secure. It’s a PHP built-in extension since PHP 7.2.0. I’m not sure why cPanel doesn’t install it.
