nsatragno has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == WebAuthn account creation API == The Chrome team proposes a set of additions to the WebAuthn API that will enable streamlining the account creation process. Developers who integrate the API will obtain a user identifier (like an email address), optionally a username, and a passkey they can be sure syncs. The design should be such that it can be readily extended to support verified emails. In particular, we propose: * Introduce a `requirePlatformBackupEligibleCredential` `AuthenticatorSelectionCriteria` attribute. This would select for backup (sync) capable platform authenticators. * Introduce a `requestUserInfo` set of options that can be used to request user identifiers to be returned alongside the passkey. The initial list would be an identifier (email or phone) and optionally, a name. See [the explainer](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/wiki/Explainer:-WebAuthn-account-creation-API) for the design proposal.
