Support other mediation options #489

Closed mitar closed 11 months ago

mitar commented 11 months ago

startAuthentication currently accepts the PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptionsJSON options and not the one level up options object (which would have publicKey as a field). This prevents one to pass mediation field alongside publicKey. There is a way to enable "conditional" mediation, but not for example "silent".

There's currently nothing in WebAuthn that leverages "silent" mediation with publicKey options, and nothing coming up that would use it either. I can't see right now what adding support for this type of mediation would enable.

I'm curious why you're trying to combine these. It's not a combination that anyone has ever proposed before, at least where I've been paying attention and participating.

I am just learning about webauth, so you are probably right that it might not make sense. I was primarily reading the spec and trying to see how does it look like in a browser if I specify silent mediation and I found out that I cannot specifying it using this library.
