Clarification on user gesture requirement for webauthn
Hi folks, I have a couple questions relating to the user gesture requirement on iOS, specifically regarding WebKit. From my testing, it looks like only one webauthn invocation without user gesture is allowed even if there's intervening user gestures, e.g. navigating to another page, clicking buttons, etc. I have to close Safari and reopen in order to reset the count. Is this expected behavior? It seems like it was originally supposed to be one per user navigation [1]. I see the user gesture requirement was removed recently [2]. I agree with the decision, but am curious what was the context behind this move as it seems like a reversal of https://webkit.org/blog/11312/meet-face-id-and-touch-id-for-the-web/.
