> * Many items are UX hints, but are expressed with language that make them seem like requirements or policy Mind opening an issue specifically pointing these out? > * 'discoverable credentials' 'resident keys' are very confusing terms which really should be "Ephemeral Key-Wrapped Keys" and "Persistent Private Key". The term "discoverable credential" was introduced specifically to decouple the discoverability property from the storage implementation, especially as with the CTAP2 `credProtect` extension it is now possible to have a "persistent private key" that is nevertheless not discoverable without naming it by credential ID. > * Confusing terms like this, lead to even more confusing items like "storage modality" that only serve to add more confusion ...that said, I can agree that the whole "Authenticator taxonomy" section has felt a little iffy ever since it was added. I'd be happy to take another pass at it and maybe eliminate some of this not-all-that-useful terminology, unless it's too late to get rid of it now. But I suspect most of those terms aren't really used outside the spec (unlike "resident key" for example). -- GitHub Notification of comment by emlun Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1615#issuecomment-847386475 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
