WRT the term "first-factor" -- it is one of those invented-during-a-meeting-while-in-a-rush things that was not carefully thought-through or researched prior to being employed. It turns out we perhaps ought to have simply referred to NIST SP800-63-2 and used "multi-factor authenticator". [See S 6.1.1](http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-63-2.pdf). Additionally, in NIST SP800-63-2 parlance, U2F security keys are termed "single-factor". -- GitHub Notification of comment by equalsJeffH Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/422#issuecomment-297181142 using your GitHub account
