Would it make sense to make the virtual authenticator treat the sign counter as fixed to 0 by default to match the majority of real world implementations? If we really wanted to support testing other values, Set Credential Properties could pass in a different (fixed) value, and the caller could manually increment in whatever steps it wants to test. (But [Chrome's position](https://www.imperialviolet.org/tourofwebauthn/tourofwebauthn.html#:~:text=Signature%20counters,otherwise%20be%20ignored.) on this is still that the counter should be ignored in all but truly exceptional cases.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by kreichgauer Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/2363#issuecomment-3807615785 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
