Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
The PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions dictionary represents the object passed to CredentialsContainer.get() as the value of the publicKey option.
It is used to request a PublicKeyCredential provided by an authenticator that supports the Web Authentication API.
allowCredentials Optional
An array of objects used to restrict the list of acceptable credentials. An empty array indicates that any credential is acceptable.
Each object in the array will contain the following properties:
id
An ArrayBuffer, TypedArray, or DataView representing the ID of the public key credential to retrieve. This value is mirrored by the rawId property of the PublicKeyCredential object returned by a successful get() call.
transports
An array of strings providing hints as to the methods the client could use to communicate with the relevant authenticator of the public key credential to retrieve. Possible transports are: "ble", "hybrid", "internal", "nfc", and "usb".
Note: This value is mirrored by the return value of the PublicKeyCredential.response.getTransports() method of the PublicKeyCredential object returned by the create() call that originally created the credential. At that point, it should be stored by the app for later use.
type
A string defining the type of the public key credential to retrieve. This can currently take a single value, "public-key", but more values may be added in the future. This value is mirrored by the type property of the PublicKeyCredential object returned by a successful get() call.
This value defaults to an empty array.
challenge
An ArrayBuffer, TypedArray, or DataView originating from the relying party's server and used as a cryptographic challenge. This value will be signed by the authenticator and the signature will be sent back as part of the AuthenticatorAssertionResponse.signature (available in the response property of the PublicKeyCredential object returned by a successful get() call).
extensions Optional
An object containing properties representing the input values for any requested extensions. These extensions are used to specific additional processing by the client or authenticator during the authentication process. Examples include dealing with legacy FIDO API credentials, and evaluating outputs from a pseudo-random function (PRF) associated with a credential.
Extensions are optional and different browsers may recognize different extensions. Processing extensions is always optional for the client: if a browser does not recognize a given extension, it will just ignore it. For information on using extensions, and which ones are supported by which browsers, see Web Authentication extensions.
hints Optional Experimental
An array of strings providing hints as to what UI the browser should provide for the user to authenticate with an existing public key credential.
The strings can be any of the following:
"security-key"
The UI should recommend requesting the credential from a separate physical security key (such as a YubiKey).
"client-device"
The UI should recommend requesting the credential from an authenticator available on the same device they are using to access the RP client.
"hybrid"
The UI should recommend requesting the credential from a general-purpose authenticator, such as a smartphone-based authenticator app. This favors using a cross-device approach to handling authentication, relying on a combination of laptop and smartphone, for example.
When multiple strings are included in the array, their order denotes the order of preference, from high to low. Supporting browsers that respect the hints should use the first one that they understand.
Specified hints may contradict hints provided in the transports option. When the provided hints contradict this option, the hints take precedence. hints may also be ignored by the browser under specific circumstances, for example if a hinted authenticator type is not usable on the user's device.
For some specific code and UI examples, see Introducing hints, Related Origin Requests and JSON serialization for WebAuthn in Chrome.
rpId Optional
A string that specifies the relying party's identifier (for example "login.example.org"). For security purposes:
rpId matches the relying party's origin.rpId matches the rpId of the credential used for the authentication ceremony.This value defaults to the current origin's domain.
timeout Optional
A numerical hint, in milliseconds, indicating the time the relying party is willing to wait for the retrieval operation to complete. This hint may be overridden by the browser.
userVerification Optional
A string specifying the relying party's requirements for user verification of the authentication process. This verification is initiated by the authenticator, which will request the user to provide an available factor (for example a PIN or a biometric input of some kind).
The value can be one of the following:
"required"
The relying party requires user verification, and the operation will fail if it does not occur.
"preferred"
The relying party prefers user verification if possible, but the operation will not fail if it does not occur.
"discouraged"
The relying party does not want user verification, in the interests of making user interaction as smooth as possible.
This value defaults to "preferred".
