library reports lack of support to webauthn in mobile chrome but webauthn seems to work if using reference site about simplewebauthn

ok @MasterKale. I will try to think of a way to overcome this use of the IP. thank you very much.

For the record, I couldn't make it work with ngrok, but when I did a full publish to an internet environment, both registration and authentication went fine. Thanks again.

Hello @joaomelo, can you provide a couple more bits of info to help diagnose this?

1. What is your local development URL?
2. Can you provide the full error stack trace you're seeing in the console? There should also be a cause property on errors raised within startAuthentication() that will be any error raised by the navigator.credentials.get() call

Hi @MasterKale.

Thank you very much for quickly responding; I updated the issue with more context. I hope I was as able to provide the information you requested.

Best regards.

Go to the local dev site (HTTP://192...***)

I'll bet this is the problem. WebAuthn can only be called from secure contexts which include:

• A site at https:// with a valid TLS certificate
• A site at http://localhost[:port]

Unfortunately you'll need to figure out how to get your dev instance available at one of those two forms of valid URLs - accessing it via IP address won't support use of WebAuthn.

@joaomelo
You can try ngrok for dev which will give you a valid https url and tunnel to your dev machine.

Closing this out as it seems resolved.
