Speaking a little to developer experience, needing to be mindful of aborting existing CredMan requests is an aspect of WebAuthn API that is unlike most other browser APIs. As such I think it'd be more ideal for developers to be able to "fire and forget" requests. Implementing JS logic to juggle abort controllers when implementing both Conditional and Modal UI flows on a page is not too onerous a task, speaking from practical experience. However we're essentially consigning _every_ RP to have to write such logic (or find a third-party library that does this) if we don't consider updating Credential Management API to achieve this. Speaking for developers I'd say it'd be worth it for the easier WebAuthn learning curve. However I acknowledge that this would introduce a lot of complexity into the Credential Management API given its current architecture. The ball is with the browser vendors now and if they'd want to take on such an effort. -- GitHub Notification of comment by MasterKale Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1854#issuecomment-1460881368 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
