Hi AlisterWhere do you see that it is experimental? looking at your link I could just find the following: 

"Web Authentication API
SUPPORTED Build Number 14291+ "

All the best

      Where I said:
 &gt; When they say “implementations”, that does not mean they are publically available in browsers yet. The firefox one is behind a flag, I’m still not clear where to find the MS one.

 Apologies, there are two entries in Microsoft’s Edge support page, this is the right one:
 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/status/webauthenticationapi/ 

 So it is behind a flag at the moment (i.e. it is experimental and not intended for public use).

 Also, it says “The implementation in Microsoft Edge is focused on enabling Microsoft Passport with a PIN or Windows Hello to securely authenticate to Microsoft properties and third-party web sites.”

 I.e. it does not work with external USB devices, it only works on devices with a pin code or face recognition.

 I guess you could argue that if it is an issue then you’ll buy a new device, but it does seem premature.

 Kind regards,
