Re: [webauthn] Why not email/username as user.id / user handle? (#1763)

Ok. Thanks for the answers. So to summarize, because the users can freely be listed on external security keys, they require some cryptic handle to ensure usernames are not leaked. I understand that. 

Nevertheless, from an outsider's POV, I find the property names could have been chosen much better, like:

    user.id => the username/email instead
    user.displayName => should be optional IMHO
    user.securityKeyHandle => the anonymized thingy listed by security keys

... Or alternatively "anonymizedId" or something like that. 

This would have been much more intuitive IMHO.
