emlun has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == Incorrect use of _options_ variable in `create()` and `get()` definitions == [§5.1.3. Create a New Credential](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-createCredential) and [§5.1.4. Use an Existing Credential to Make an Assertion](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-discover-from-external-source) both declare their **options** parameter as the `Credential[Creation|Request]Options` object inherited from CredMan: >**options** >This argument is a [`CredentialCreationOptions`](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/#dictdef-credentialcreationoptions) object whose _options_.[`publicKey`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-credentialcreationoptions-publickey) member contains a [`PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-publickeycredentialcreationoptions) object [...] Both also re-assign the _options_ variable: >Let _options_ be the value of _options_.[`publicKey`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-credentialrequestoptions-publickey). But both then also reference _options_.`signal`, which is a member of `Credential[Creation|Request]Options` but not `PublicKeyCredential[Creation|Request]Options`: >If _options_.[`signal`](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/#dom-credentialrequestoptions-signal) is present and [aborted](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#abortsignal-aborted), throw the _options_.[`signal`](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/#dom-credentialrequestoptions-signal)’s [abort reason](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#abortsignal-abort-reason). For correctness, we need to keep a reference to the _options_ inherited from CredMan and either introduce a new variable for its _options_.`pubKey` attribute, or simply reference the WebAuthn-specific parameters using the _options_.`pubKey` prefix.
