Hello,

does Firefox support "allow" Tag for Web Authentication API? I am trying to Register(create()) Credentials(Yubikey) but the request is rejected. How can I allow an iframe to create Credentials?

window - a.domain.com iframe - b.domain.com

I am trying to register the keys for domain.com

5.10. Using Web Authentication within iframe elements The Web Authentication API is disabled by default in cross-origin iframes. To override this default policy and indicate that a cross-origin iframe is allowed to invoke the Web Authentication API, specify the allow attribute on the iframe element and include the publickey-credentials feature-identifier token in the allow attribute’s value. https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#publickey-credentials-feature

Note: This API is restricted to top-level contexts. Use from within an <iframe> element will not have any effect. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PublicKeyCredential

<iframe allow="publickey-credentials 'https://myprofile.ekir.de';" src="https://b.domain.com"> <iframe allow="publickey-credentials:*" src="https://b.domain.com"> <iframe allow="publickey-credentials:*" publickey-credentials src="https://b.domain.com">


Thank you in Advance!

This method is restricted to top-level contexts. Calls to it within an <iframe> element will resolve without effect. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CredentialsContainer/create
