No, I don't think it's likely that SSL/TLS certificates will ever be usable as WebAuthn credentials. My reasoning for this is that a certificate is a stable global identity that is correlatable between RPs, while a WebAuthn credential is bound to a particular RP and not correlatable. That said, WebAuthn as a protocol is compatible with pure-software authenticators, but there currently is no standardised API for implementing them. You're welcome to open a new issue requesting standardising support for software authenticators, but of course I can't promise the browsers will be willing to implement it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by emlun Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1027#issuecomment-470704292 using your GitHub account
