Breaking Changes

• [server] The fidoUserVerification argument to verifyAuthenticationResponse() has been replaced with the simpler requireUserVerification boolean (#181)

Previous values of "required" should specify true for this new argument; previous values of "preferred" or "discouraged" should specify false:

Before:

const verification = verifyAuthenticationResponse({
  // ...snip...
  fidoUserVerification: 'required',
});

After:

const verification = verifyAuthenticationResponse({
  // ...snip...
  requireUserVerification: true,
});
