Re: [webauthn] Silent Authn? clarification of bit 0 in AuthenticatorData

Use case: development or production machines often need to make API 
calls to other hosts when the user is not present. A USB device cannot
 be copied from the machine to another machine, and can provide an 
additional factor and increased security for the machine to 
authenticate. While there are other hardware mechanisms for this, U2F 
devices will be low cost, and developers will already have one.
