emlun has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == AuthenticatorTransport description is incorrect == The description of the [`AuthenticatorAttachment` enumeration][authatt] reads (emphasis added): >This enumeration’s values describe authenticators' attachment modalities. Relying Parties use this for **two purposes**: >- to express a preferred authenticator attachment modality when calling navigator.credentials.create() to create a credential, and >- to inform the client of the Relying Party's best belief about how to locate the managing authenticators of the credentials listed in **allowCredentials** when calling **navigator.credentials.get()**. In fact, `AuthenticatorAttachment` is used only in [`AuthenticatorSelectionCriteria`][authsel], which in turn is only used in `create()`. The "best belief about how to locate the managing authenticators" in [`allowCredentials`][allowCredentials] is in fact a sequence of [`AuthenticatorTransport`][authtran] values, not `AuthenticatorAttachment`. Therefore, the second bullet point in the above quote can be eliminated (and the preceding text modified to align). [authatt]: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#enumdef-authenticatorattachment [authsel]: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-authenticatorselectioncriteria [allowCredentials]: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-publickeycredentialrequestoptions-allowcredentials [authtran]: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#enumdef-authenticatortransport Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1153 using your GitHub account
