tony: let's look at #1095

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1095

tony: JeffH you are on the list to review.

jeffH: wait another week.

tony: OK

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1191

shane: I don't think there are outstanding comments
... elundberg and akshay are talking about this.

tony: I think akshay approved.

elundberg: I would like an indifferent option, but will not hold this up.

tony: why"

elundberg: it expresses a different intent for the RP

akshay: i think we can add this.

shane: I have a definition on indiffernt from last draft, do we want it as the default
... I will put indifferent in and make it the default

agreement

tony: agl do you have indifferences here

agl: I can talk to them

jeffH: I need to catchup also

shane: I have not seen agl's issues.
... happy to read them or he can explain them.

agl: I think my comments are coming from two areas, don't express a default value;
... some higher level stuff around wording this as where the private key is stored ....

shane: i think there is a wider issue

agl: this change is adding a lot more wording along those lines.

shane: thought this was land it now and change later.

agL: if group is OK, you can ignore my comments.

skshay: to verfiy trying to discuss what core values mean.
... two thing going on. this is what I understand. first, two different paraments and they are for controlling two different properties on is user verification
... discussion in PIN or not

akshay: the proposal today says three things, do we want to go to four.
... second one is preferred
... platform should try resident key , if it doesnt work try non-resident
... third, for server creds we are fine without PIN, this is mainly I don't want PIN so i put it as ...
... the fourth one is this independent one. just give me some credential. it should be default

agl: would you consider the different and discourage at the same time?

akdhay: I don't like to put two variables out there.
... I want to keep it seprate.

agl: i don't see that I would implement any difference between these two values.

akshay: I don't think there is a difference now

agl: as a n RP, the reasons I might now want preferred over required, I need more compatiblilitiy
... the docs we send to web masters on how to use WebAuthn
... I think one of these should not exisits

akshay: are you OK with one value

elundberg: I am ok with that. but I think this better captures the default of the RP. discourages reflects an a tion
... discouraged is better than indifferent if you have to pick one.
... I OK with just discouraged.
... but having indifferent it allows the RP to better express ...
... I see that the documentation may be confusing as AGL said

agl: to try and tease out thinking, what RP would use your method.

elundberg: not to have UV pop up.

shane: emil is ok without indifferent. so is there anything holding up the PR

agL: I think this PR needs some changes before it lands.

jeffh: I have not been through it in detail

shane: if we agree on discourage, I will take some time to review today.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1192

akshay: I am OK

elundberg: done.

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1195

tony: is there a clear path on this one?

agl: this is more negative, I say drop it.
... the older wording was better.

jeffH: thi slined to UV, which I thought it shold not do.
... lets not merge it now. needs polishing

tony: move to issues

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1197

elundberg: I'll do this, put this at WD 2

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1199

elundberg: request here is getting a list of extensions. want to check this without going through ceremony.

tony: you mean the full ceremony

agl: not so coerned about fingerprint. I want to see here a concrete case, this extension, this behavior

akshay: is it a questions of passing the value or not.

agl: I don't understand the problem.

elundberg: can you note in the issue

jeffh: I did

tony: we could push it off to another draft.

jeffH: lets put it on WD-02

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1200

elundberg: about updating metad ate stored in credential
... this is possible now because you can do another registration ceremony with new credential

akshay: most of the time you don't have more than one RP. don't know if it is a big issue

jeffH: name changes do occur in practice
... does not happen that often. could just be re-registraion

agl: if you register with the same name the authenticator will replace the resident key

tony: just close this.

akshay: push it off

jeffH: I agree

elundberg: yes.
... very much not a big issue.
