I reviewed the spec at https://www.w3.org/tr/webauthn/ There is a lot in there. It supports the integration of external authentication mechanisms (e.g., biometrics, Google Authenticator on a phone / watch, etc.) Not sure how to think about the A11Y concerns here though. Basically there is no UI component per se. Instead there is an API that allows the invocation of platform-specific mechanisms. Those clearly MUST be accessible, but it is not clear to me how we would require or enforce that through this spec. P.S. Discussed at APA Meeting on 3 August. Notes in the Action Item in Tracker. -- Shane McCarron Projects Manager, Spec-Ops
