agl has just merged agl's pull request 903 for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == Add an “internal” AuthenticatorTransport. == The motivating example is a built-in fingerprint reader. It might be connected via an I²C bus or the like, but the current AuthenticatorTransport enumeration cannot express anything like that. This change adds a catch-all for these internal transports because, from the point of view of the client, they're all the same: there's nothing for the user to do if they're not there so no point prompting them. It also clarifies that the “usb” type means a removable USB device. Some built-in hardware (esp in laptops) is connected via an internal USB bus, but a user would not know that and would not want to be prompted like it was a removable device in that case. <!-- This comment and the below content is programatically generated.
