Describe the platform

To ensure a successful test of the authenticator, please follow these steps:

• Prepare the authenticator that you wish to test. It is recommended to use it only for this test to avoid any conflicts. If necessary, delete the passkey and reset the authenticator's settings (e.g., disable PIN, unregister fingerprint). Sounds scary. What ib I already have something on it, or had some UV set?
  
  • It
  • it may be a hardware authenticator, such as a YubiKey.
  • it It may be an operating system authenticator, such as Touch ID or Windows Hello.
  • it It may be a software authenticator, such as tpm-fido.
  • it It may be a password manager with passkey support, such as Dashlane.
• Fill in details about the authenticator in the table below (vendor, model, OS, browser):

• Be prepared to capture screenshots of each system/browser dialogue that appears. (Later in this process, you will register a passkey multiple times)

...

• If there are any options or settings related to "passkeys", "security keys" or similar in your OS/device/... spaceship settings, make screenshots and attach them here. If there are any options or settings related to "passkeys", "security keys" or similar in your OS/device/... settings, make screenhots and attach them here.
  
  • If there are password manager options, only capture them.
  • If there are browser options, only capture them instead.
  • If there are browser operating system options, only capture them instead.

This is an exemplary path, screenshot only the screen(s) with passkey options (the last one below):

Test cryptography

• Unchecking Uncheck all following checkboxes: Use ES256, Use ES384, Use ES512, Use RS256, Use EdDSA.
• Check Use ES256 and click CREATE.
  
  1. Copy-paste the resulting registration data into row 10. ES256, or input "unsupported" if there was an error.
  2. What about Use ES256? Clear it?
     
• Check Use ES384 and click CREATE.
  
  1. Copy-paste the resulting registration data into row 11. ES384, or input "unsupported" if there was an error.
• Check Use ES512 and click CREATE.
  
  1. Copy-paste the resulting registration data into row 12. ES512, or input "unsupported" if there was an error.
• Check Use RS256 and click CREATE.
  
  1. Copy-paste the resulting registration data into row 13. RS256, or input "unsupported" if there was an error.
• Check Use EdDSA and click CREATE.
  
  1. Copy-paste the resulting registration data into row 14. EdDSA, or input "unsupported" if there was an error.

I would skip this, and , if needed, place some identifying labels above for easier extraction from test results pages.

The results will be aggregated into the summarised table below.
