webauthn can very much be used in a desktop application, you're just losing the phishing resistance factor, as the application can choose what to send as identifier, which includes collecting tokens for other tools/websites.
- 0x457 3y agoWell, you can use webauthn in a desktop application by opening a browser. I'm annoyed to do it every time I have authenticated with Bitwarden.
