How We Added WebAuthn to a Browser-Based RDP Client

A team documented the process of implementing WebAuthn (a passwordless authentication standard) support in a browser-based RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) client operating outside the Windows ecosystem. This involved reverse-engineering RDP protocol extensions to enable security key authentication redirection through remote desktop sessions.

Why it matters: Organizations using browser-based RDP clients for remote access need to understand WebAuthn integration capabilities to strengthen authentication security and reduce reliance on passwords in remote administration workflows.
