Multi-device WebAuthn credentials that are syncable and devicePubKey extension are an inseparable pair, where devicePubKey extension is a fallback. Multi-device WebAuthn credentials is synced with cloud of a party, e.g., a platform vendor, whose cloud security is not known to RPs. So some RPs cannot accept such cloud synced multi-device WebAuthn credentials, despite the convenience that it offers. For them, devicePubKey is the mechanism not to accept cloud synced multi-device WebAuthn credentials with unknown security unconditionally, but to accept them after their own verification to ensure the security of the RP's accounts. -- GitHub Notification of comment by maxhata Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1691#issuecomment-1019476409 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
