Okay, here goes... :slightly_smiling_face: >* [#1270 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1270#discussion_r320888115) >> @equalsJeffH: I'm thinking we ought to formalize the term "re-authentication" ( "re-auth" for short -- see also issue #334) and use it instead of "repeated [=authentication=]" I'm not sure it's worth introducing a formal term for this, I think it's clear enough without it. >* [#1270 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1270#discussion_r320890039) >> @equalsJeffH: for "authn on device for first time" -- #334 uses term "bootstrap" (goog folks r partial to that term) some folks use the term "introduction" for it... >> @emlun: I feel like that would require a proper definition of "bootstrap", and I'm not sure we'd use the term enough for it to be worth it. What do you think? Same here, I think "first time" is clear enough without needing to introduce a formal term. >* [#1270 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1270#discussion_r320890970) >> @equalsJeffH: I wonder about this term "first-factor" and whether we ought to really be using "multi-factor" instead... This one I think might still be relevant. "Multi-factor" would technically be more accurate, but on the other hand "first-factor" highlights that it can be used as the first step of an authentication procedure. I'm not sure if there's one that's clearly "better" than the other. >* [#1270 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1270#discussion_r320897736) >> @equalsJeffH: s/ time / time (i.e., "bootstrapping" the [=client device=]) / ...? This seems unnecessary to me as it doesn't really say anything new. Maybe if we were using "bootstrap" elsewhere in the spec, to tie them together, but we currently don't. @equalsJeffH thoughs on that? -- GitHub Notification of comment by emlun Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1291#issuecomment-704949588 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
