MasterKale has just merged MasterKale's pull request 1932 for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:
== Clarify distinction between PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity name and displayName ==
This PR attempts to help RP's understand the differences between `user.name` and `user.displayName`. It most importantly establishes `user.name` as the primary value displayed by browsers to users. The definition of `user.displayName` has also been tweaked to emphasize that this value has utility to differentiate "sub-accounts" for a given `user.name`, but without encouraging its use as based on [observations I made back in February](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1852#issuecomment-1429062522) only Android currently exposes this value.
Fixes #1852.
