Specificationhttps://w3c.github.io/webauthn/ Summary Allow remote desktop clients to execute WebAuthn requests on behalf of another origin so that users browsing on a remote desktop host or virtual machine can use WebAuthn in those environments. Blink componentBlink>WebAuthentication <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EWebAuthentication> Motivation Users may want to browse websites that require WebAuthn for authentication on a computer that they can't access physically, like a remote desktop server or a virtual machine. If the remote desktop client is a native app, they can potentially accomplish this already by forwarding raw device access to a USB security key from the local machine to the remote one. This isn't possible for web-based clients however. This feature would enable a web-based remote desktop client, that is explicitly trusted by the user or their enterprise administrator, to make WebAuthn requests on behalf of another site authenticating the user on a remote host. Initial public proposalhttps://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1577 TAG review TAG review statusPending Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko: No signal WebKit: No signal Web developers: No signals Other signals: (Not an explicit signal of support, but there are various remote/virtual desktop clients that are implemented as native apps and support device pass-through, which effectively enables the use case.) WebView Application Risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
