Re: [webauthn] Cross-window `Virtual Authenticator Database` (#2117)

> why not just matching the normal Authenticator Database behavior

We wanted to not share the state of devtools across windows, e.g. maybe you're debugging a site on one tab but want to sign in to your cloud IDE using your real credential on another, so the database is keyed to a hierarchy of frames on Chrome. We could keep that behaviour but only for devtools, and have webdriver affect all windows by default. That would be an improvement: presumably you don't care about having access to real authenticators if you're automating your browser.

This, however, is a Chrome bug and not a standard bug. The right avenue to discuss is https://crbug.com. Please file a bug there, assign me, and set the component to Blink>WebAuthentication.
