I want, on the front end to have a single button for both sign in and sign up, that would authenticate with passkey (fido).
I do not want for the user to have to specify anything, before getting authenticated, just a button, thats all.
From what I see generateRegistrationOptions from @simplewebauthn/server, requires the username field to be filled in. Is this a thing that is necessary for proper standard implementation, or can I just pass an empty string?
Also, is implementing passkey, as a replacement for email (or username) and password, standard compliant; or should I find another solution?
Best regards,

Even with webauthn, you have to be able to identify the user, don't you? Also, this has nothing to do with Nest, so would have been better in the #hangout channel.

With Webauthn (passkeys), it is not possible to have a single button for singup and login, for privacy reasons. The method the browser has to execute is different depending on whether it wants to register a passkey, or validate with one.
