Description

For publishers we received a request from @tomlowenthal to implement webauthn as a sign in provider. However in the current release of Brave webauthn is not supported

Note: Raw response in console.
Got error:

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:

Everytime

Github has now enabled this functionality and next month over a hundred banks and credit unions will have it enabled for their sites. Really need this enabled.
