Describe the platform
To ensure a successful test of the authenticator, please follow these steps:
- For this test, you need a computer or mobile device and a hardware or software authenticator. It may be:
- Hardware authenticator, such as YubiKey.
- Operating system authenticator, such as Touch ID or Windows Hello.
- Software authenticator, such as tpm-fido.
- Password manager with passkey support, such as Dashlane.
- The actions performed during this test are parts of regular usage and should not affect the authenticator in any way. However, you may choose to use a brand-new authenticator, reset or clear it to avoid any conflicts during the test.
- If necessary, delete the passkey that you create during this testing if it prevents you from creating it again. This should not happen, but if it does, please provide a screenshot and an accompanying note. If you are willing to, reset the authenticator's settings (e.g., disable PIN, unregister fingerprint).
- Fill in the details in the table below:
Tester: | |

| }}Date: Use '//' to input date{15{ |
|
| }}Authenticator (or device) vendor: Yubico, Apple, Dell, HP, Android phone brand...{17{ | Yubico |
| }}Authenticator (or device) model: YubiKey 5 NFC, iPhone 13, PC model name, MacBook year size, MacBook Air year size, MacBook Pro year size...{20{ | Yubikey 5 NFC |
| }}OS and its version: iOS 13, macOS 10.5.8, Windows 10 22H2, Windows 11 22H2, Android 13...{25{ | Ubuntu 22 |
| }}Browser and its version: Chrome 114, Firefox 114...{30{ | Firefox 117 |
| }}I registered a PIN/password/finger/face in the authenticator before the session: Yes or No (The situation where you have not previously registered in the authenticator is interesting for checking if the passkey creation will trigger user registration.){35{ | Yes |
}}
- Be prepared to capture screenshots of each system/browser dialogue that appears. Later in this process, you will register a passkey multiple times.
Capture the platform or browser passkey options
- If there are any options or settings related to "passkeys", "security keys" or similar in your OS/device/spaceship settings (related to the authenticator you are going to use), capture screenshots and paste or attach them here.
- If you are using a password manager, capture its passkey-related options.
- If you are using a browser supporting passkeys, capture its options instead.
- If you are using an operating system to manage passkeys, capture its options instead.
Possible locations:
- Windows 11: Settings > Accounts > Passkeys
- iOS: Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Passwords & Keychain
- Chrome (Windows): Settings > Autofill and passwords > Password Manager > Manage passkeys
These are exemplary paths. You need to screenshot the only passkey-related options. Please paste screenshots in or outside this table as suitable:

Get diagnostics
- Open https://webauthntest.identitystandards.io/.
- Log in using any user name - this is probably just for the app's internal logging.
- Click the "..." button.
- If there are any problems while doing the above, try another time or use another device. If the problem persists, please let us know over Slack.

Set repeated settings
- Click the "+" button to create a passkey. Choose the following:
- RP Info: This domain
- User Info: Bob
- Attachment: Undefined
- Require Resident Key: True
- Resident Key (L2): Required
Create passkeys using various settings
- Capture and paste below the screenshot of various prompts, screens, dialogues, questions or messages that show up during passkey registration as you encounter them.
- If some options are offered, snapshot them as well, but do not change anything.
- Capture screenshots at each step of the first passkey creation.
- Also, capture screenshots when new screens appear during subsequent passkey creations and add them here.
- Try not to duplicate screenshots of the same steps, as interactions will likely look similar.
If you encounter an error message like "Authenticator data cannot be parsed", it indicates that the combination of arguments used is not supported by the authenticator being tested.
- You can add a note to a screenshot if you encounter an error or find something interesting.
- If you are wonderinf wgy
Please insert or paste screenshots in this table as suitable, preferably putting the related screenshots in one row (you can place a note beneath an image in the same cell):

- Select User Verification: Required and click CREATE.
- Follow the requested steps to create a passkey, then copy-paste the result from the web app.
- Note that the latest result is the rightmost in the bottom row. You may delete already pasted results.
- All authenticators should be able to register multiple passkeys for the same domain, so you do not need to delete the previously created one. It is likely that the passkeys you create will override each other since they are for the same domain and use the same user name "bob@example.com").

Conclusion
Do you have any additional observations or comments related to the entire procedure:{125{ | Once in the ES384 test, the Yubikey was not activated, the page freezed, I had to forcefully end Firefox; this only happened once, when I repeated the test with the same options, the page gave a regular error mesage. |
