Re: [webauthn] Discussing mechanisms for enterprise RP's to enforce bound properties of credentials (#1739)

> > If multi-device credentials (more specifically those backed up to a user's platform-provider cloud account) are not able to be excluded by RP policy during credential creation, the spec is essentially dictating that all RPs must figure out a way to make them acceptable (otherwise you have the undesirable fail-after-register UX)

By being able to send a UX hint, the credential shouldn't even be listed for the usere to select in the ceremony, meaning that they are guided to a valid credential that can be used.

The alternative is they perform the whole ceremony then are dropped to an error screen that tries to explain why it failed. Which is much harder to communicate.
