akshayku has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == Deprecate AuthenticatorAttachment in favor of PublicKeyCredentialHints. == ## Background We have introduced PublicKeyCredentialHints for RP to better convey intention of which transport is preferred for both credential creation and authentication. Previously, AuthenticatorAttachment was used to convey similar intention. However, AuthenticatorAttachment has a side affect during credential creation. It excludes certain authenticators and the definition of platform vs cross-platform has been murky for some time since the introduction of hybrid transport. It leads to market fragmentation and UI differences between platforms. ## Proposed Change Deprecate AuthenticatorAttachment in favor of PublicKeyCredentialHints in the spec. For backwards compatibilty when only attachment is provided, we can map those values to corresponding PublicKeyCredentialHints.
