What is being proposed as remote authentication is a mechanism to do server-side biometrics. The promise of Fido is to do on device biometrics when biometrics are used. In discussions with the WG there is concern that allowing remote biometric capture as part of something branded as Fido or WebAuthn would compromise people's confidence in the privacy. While part of the credential manager API might be used as a method to do remote documentation verification, the feeling of the WebAuthn working group is that this should be kept separate from the WebAuthn specification. As such the intention is to close this issue. -- GitHub Notification of comment by ve7jtb Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1580#issuecomment-815146003 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
