-# WebAuthn APIs for password-less authentication on Windows
-
-### Passwords leave your customers vulnerable. With the new WebAuthn APIs, your sites and apps can use password-less authentication.
-
-Microsoft has long been a proponent to do away with passwords.
-While working towards that goal, we'd like to introduce you to the latest Windows 10 (version 1903) W3C/FIDO2 Win32 WebAuthn platform APIs!
-These APIs allow Microsoft developer partners and the developer community to use Windows Hello and FIDO2 security keys
-as a password-less authentication mechanism for their applications on Windows devices.
-
-#### What does this mean?
-
-This opens opportunities for developers or relying parties (RPs') to enable password-less authentication.
-They can now use [Windows Hello](./index.yml) or [FIDO2 Security Keys](./microsoft-compatible-security-key.md)
-as a password-less multi-factor credential for authentication.
-
-Users of these sites can use any browser that supports WebAuthn Windows 10 APIs for password-less authentication
- and will have a familiar and consistent experience on Windows 10, no matter which browser they use to get to the RPs' site!
-
-The native Windows 10 WebAuthn APIs are currently supported by Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 1809 or later
- and latest versions of other browsers.
-
-Developers of FIDO2 authentication keys should use the new Windows 10 APIs, to enable these scenarios in a consistent way for users.
- Moreover, this enables the use of all the transports available per FIDO2 specifications - USB, NFC, and BLE
- without having to deal with the interaction and management overhead.
-This also implies browsers or apps on Windows 10 will no longer have direct access to above transports for FIDO-related messaging.
-
-#### Where can developers learn more?
-
-The new Windows 10 APIs are documented on [GitHub](https://github.com/Microsoft/webauthn)

+# WebAuthn APIs for passwordless authentication on Windows
+
+Passwords can leave your customers vulnerable to data breaches and security attacks by malicious users.
+
+Microsoft has long been a proponent of passwordless authentication, and introduced the W3C/Fast IDentity Online 2 (FIDO2) Win32 WebAuthn platform APIs in Windows 10 (version 1903).
+
+## What does this mean?
+
+By using WebAuthn APIs, developer partners and the developer community can use [Windows Hello](./index.yml) or [FIDO2 Security Keys](./microsoft-compatible-security-key.md) to implement passwordless multi-factor authentication for their applications on Windows devices.
+
+Users of these apps or sites can use any browser that supports WebAuthn APIs for passwordless authentication. Users will have a familiar and consistent experience on Windows, no matter which browser they use.
+
+Developers should use the WebAuthn APIs to support FIDO2 authentication keys in a consistent way for users. Additionally, developers can use all the transports that are available per FIDO2 specifications (USB, NFC, and BLE) while avoiding the interaction and management overhead.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When these APIs are in use, Windows 10 browsers or apps don't have direct access to the FIDO2 transports for FIDO-related messaging.
+
+## The big picture
+
+Client to Authenticator Protocol 2 (CTAP2) and WebAuthn define an abstraction layer that creates an ecosystem for strongly authenticated credentials. In this ecosystem, any interoperable client (such as a native app or browser) that runs on a given client device uses a standardized method to interact with any interoperable authenticator. Interoperable authenticators include authenticators that are built into the client device (platform authenticators) and authenticators that connect to the client device by using USB, BLE, or NFC connections (roaming authenticators).
+
+The authentication process starts when the user makes a specific user gesture that indicates consent for the operation. At the request of the client, the authenticator securely creates strong cryptographic keys and stores them locally.
+
+After these client-specific keys are created, clients can request attestations for registration and authentication. The type of signature that the private key uses reflects the user gesture that was made.
+
+The following diagram shows how CTAP and WebAuthn interact. The light blue dotted arrows represent interactions that depend on the specific implementation of the platform APIs.
+
+:::image type="content" source="images/webauthn-apis/webauthn-apis-fido2-overview.png" alt-text="The diagram shows how the WebAuthn API interacts with the relying parties and the CTAPI2 API.":::
+
+*Relationships of the components that participate in passwordless authentication*
+
+A combined WebAuthn/CTAP2 dance includes the following cast of characters:
+
+- **Client device**. The *client device* is the hardware that hosts a given strong authentication. Laptops and phones are examples of client devices.
+
+- **Relying parties and clients**. *Relying parties* are web or native applications that consume strong credentials. The relying parties run on client devices.
+
+ - As a relying party, a native application can also act as a WebAuthn client to make direct WebAuthn calls.
+
+ - As a relying party, a web application can't directly interact with the WebAuthn API. The relying party must broker the deal through the browser.
+
+ > [!NOTE]
+ > The preceding diagram doesn't depict single sign-on authentication. Be careful not to confuse FIDO relying parties with federated relying parties.
+
+- **WebAuthn API**. The *WebAuthn API* enables clients to make requests to authenticators. The client can request that the authenticator create a key, provide an assertion about a key, report capabilities, manage a PIN, and so on.
+
+- **CTAP2 platform/host**. The *platform* (also called the host in the CTAP2 spec) is the part of the client device that negotiates with authenticators. The platform is responsible for securely reporting the origin of the request and for calling the CTAP2 Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) APIs. If the platform isn't CTAP2-aware, the clients themselves take on more of the burden. In this case, the components and interactions of the preceding diagram may differ.
+
+- **Platform authenticator**. A *platform authenticator* usually resides on a client device. Examples of platform authenticators include fingerprint recognition technology that uses a built-in laptop fingerprint reader and facial recognition technology that uses a built-in smartphone camera. Cross-platform transport protocols such as USB, NFC or BLE can't access platform authenticators.
+
+- **Roaming authenticator**. A *roaming authenticator* can connect to multiple client devices. Client devices must use a supported transport protocol to negotiate interactions. Examples of roaming authenticators include USB security keys, BLE-enabled smartphone applications, and NFC-enabled proximity cards. Roaming authenticators can support CTAP1, CTAP2, or both protocols.
+
+Many relying parties and clients can interact with many authenticators on a single client device. A user can install multiple browsers that support WebAuthn, and might simultaneously have access to a built-in fingerprint reader, a plugged-in security key, and a BLE-enabled mobile app.
+
+## Interoperability
+
+Before there was WebAuthn and CTAP2, there was U2F and CTAP1. U2F is the FIDO Alliance universal second-factor specification. There are many authenticators that speak CTAP1 and manage U2F credentials. WebAuthn was designed to be interoperable with CTAP1 Authenticators. A relying party that uses WebAuthn can still use U2F credentials if the relying party doesn't require FIDO2-only functionality.
+
+FIDO2 authenticators have already implemented and WebAuthn relying parties might require the following optional features:
+
+- Keys for multiple accounts (keys can be stored per relying party)
+- Client PIN
+- Location (the authenticator returns a location)
+- [Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC)-secret](/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.hmac) (enables offline scenarios)
+
+The following options and might be useful in the future, but haven't been observed in the wild yet:
+
+- Transactional approval
+- User verification index (servers can determine whether biometric data that's stored locally has changed over time)
+- User verification method (the authenticator returns the exact method)
+- Biometric performance bounds (the relying party can specify acceptable false acceptance and false rejection rates)
+
+## Microsoft implementation
+
+The Microsoft FIDO2 implementation has been years in the making. Software and services are implemented independently as standards-compliant entities. As of the Windows 10, version 1809 (October 2018) release, all Microsoft components use the latest WebAuthn Candidate Release. It's a stable release that's not expected to normatively change before the specification is finally ratified. Because Microsoft is among the first in the world to deploy FIDO2, some combinations of popular non-Microsoft components won't be interoperable yet.
+
+Here's an approximate layout of where the Microsoft bits go:
+
+:::image type="content" source="images/webauthn-apis/webauthn-apis-fido2-overview-microsoft-version.png" alt-text="The diagram shows how the WebAuthn API interacts with the Microsoft relying parties and the CTAPI2 API.":::
+
+*Microsoft's implementation of WebAuthn and CATP2 APIs*
+
+- **WebAuthn relying party: Microsoft Account**. If you aren't familiar with Microsoft Account, it's the sign-in service for Xbox, Outlook, and many other sites. The sign-in experience uses client-side JavaScript to trigger Microsoft Edge to talk to the WebAuthn APIs. Microsoft Account requires that authenticators have the following characteristics:
+
+ - Keys are stored locally on the authenticator and not on a remote server
+ - Offline scenarios work (enabled by using HMAC)
+ - Users can put keys for multiple user accounts on the same authenticator
+ - If it's necessary, authenticators can use a client PIN to unlock a TPM
+ > [!IMPORTANT]
+ > Because Microsoft Account requires features and extensions that are unique to FIDO2 CTAP2 authenticators, it doesn't accept CTAP1 (U2F) credentials.
+
+- **WebAuthn client: Microsoft Edge**. Microsoft Edge can handle the user interface for the WebAuthn and CTAP2 features that this article describes. It also supports the AppID extension. Microsoft Edge can interact with both CTAP1 and CTAP2 authenticators. This means that it can create and use both U2F and FIDO2 credentials. However, Microsoft Edge doesn't speak the U2F protocol. Therefore, relying parties must use only the WebAuthn specification. Microsoft Edge on Android doesn't support WebAuthn.
+
+ > [!NOTE]
+ > For authoritative information about Microsoft Edge support for WebAuthn and CTAP, see [Legacy Microsoft Edge developer documentation](/microsoft-edge/dev-guide/windows-integration/web-authentication).
+
+- **Platform: Windows 10, Windows 11**. Windows 10 and Windows 11 host the Win32 Platform WebAuthn APIs.
+
+- **Roaming Authenticators**. You might notice that there's no *Microsoft* roaming authenticator. That's because there's already a strong ecosystem of products that specialize in strong authentication, and every one of our customers (whether corporations or individuals) has different requirements for security, ease of use, distribution, and account recovery. To see the ever-growing list of FIDO2 certified authenticators, see [FIDO Certified Products](https://fidoalliance.org/certification/fido-certified-products/). The list includes built-in authenticators, roaming authenticators, and even chip manufacturers who have certified designs.
+
+## Developer references
+
+The WebAuthn APIs are documented in the [Microsoft/webauthn](https://github.com/Microsoft/webauthn) GitHub repo. To understand how FIDO2 authenticators work, review the following two specifications:
+
+- [Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/) (available on the W3C site). This document is known as the WebAuthn spec.
+- [Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP)](https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-id-20180227/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.0-id-20180227.html). This is available at the [FIDO Alliance](http://fidoalliance.org/) site, on which hardware and platform teams are working together to solve the problem of FIDO authentication.

Windows 11|Determines whether Microsoft Defender Application Guard renders graphics using hardware or software acceleration.|**Enabled.** This is effective only in managed mode. Microsoft Defender Application Guard uses Hyper-V to access supported, high-security rendering graphics hardware (GPUs). These GPUs improve rendering performance and battery life while using Microsoft Defender Application Guard, particularly for video playback and other graphics-intensive use cases. If this setting is enabled without connecting any high-security rendering graphics hardware, Microsoft Defender Application Guard will automatically revert to software-based (CPU) rendering. **Important:** Enabling this setting with potentially compromised graphics devices or drivers might pose a risk to the host device.
**Disabled or not configured.** Microsoft Defender Application Guard uses software-based (CPU) rendering and won’t load any third-party graphics drivers or interact with any connected graphics hardware.|

Windows Defender Application Control has a built-in file rule conflict logic that translates to precedence order. It will first process all explicit deny rules it finds. Then, it will process all explicit allow rules. If no deny or allow rule exists, WDAC will check for [Managed Installer EA](deployment/deploy-wdac-policies-with-memcm.md). Lastly, if none of these sets exist, WDAC will fall back on [ISG](use-windows-defender-application-control-with-intelligent-security-graph.md).

## More information about filepath rules
Filepath rules don't provide the same security guarantees that explicit signer rules do, since they're based on mutable access permissions. Filepath rules are best suited for environments where most users are running as standard rather than admin. Path rules are best suited to allow paths that you expect will remain admin-writeable only. You may want to avoid path rules for directories where standard users can modify ACLs on the folder.

+> When authoring WDAC policies with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MEMCM), you can instruct MEMCM to create rules for specified files and folders. These rules **aren't** WDAC filepath rules. Rather, MEMCM performs a one-time scan of the specified files and folders and builds rules for any binaries found in those locations at the time of that scan. File changes to those specified files and folders after that scan won't be allowed unless the MEMCM policy is reapplied.

## User readiness
-Don't overlook the importance of user readiness to deliver an effective, enterprise-wide deployment of Windows 11. Windows 11 has a familiar design, but your users will see several enhancements to the overall user interface. They'll also need to adapt to changes in menus and settings pages. Therefore, consider the following tasks to prepare users and your IT support staff Windows 11:
-- Create a communications schedule to ensure that you provide the right message at the right time to the right groups of users, based on when they'll see the changes.
-- Draft concise emails that inform users of what changes they can expect to see. Offer tips on how to use or customize their experience. Include information about support and help desk options.
-- Update help desk manuals with screenshots of the new user interface, the out-of-box experience for new devices, and the upgrade experience for existing devices.
