1384331 - Credential Management: PublicKeyCredential discovery type is "remote"

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect, P3)

Description

[J.C. Jones [:jcj] (he/they)]

The Web Authentication "PublicKeyCredential" WebIDL object's "discovery" internal slot should be the literal "remote".

The field "discovery" is an "internal slot" so it doesn't appear in the WebIDL, nor have a Getter. Presumably we'll have an enumeration or some kind of marker interface to designate remote credential types. When we implement the rest of Credential Management, we should ensure that we mark PublicKeyCredential appropriately.

Hi :jcj, we don't use P4 in our triage, I was guessing if this is P3 (i.e. backlog, something we consider to fix but not have a clear timeframe for this) or P5 (don't plan to fix this but will accept a patch). This looks more like P3 per my best interpretation of your comment 0. Feel free to move to the right bucket if I got something wrong.

Oops. Yes, P3 is great. Thanks!
