WebAuthn

The MyAccount WebAuthn API provides operations to enroll, list, and delete WebAuthn enrollments.

The registration for a WebAuthn authenticator (also known as the "attestation ceremony") involves a challenge request and response. When you enroll a WebAuthn authenticator, use the following endpoints in this order:

  1. Start a WebAuthn enrollment. This endpoint returns a random challenge and other data from the Relying Party (RP).
  2. Create a WebAuthn enrollment. This endpoint creates and sends a signed response that contains the challenge and other data from the RP.
