“Normal” and “common” would still be the last words on my mind considering the amount of planning and money that goes into sending people to space and back. The only normal situation would be they go there and then back alive on the same mi

It’s not built on WebAuthn but it could work with it. WebAuthn is essentially just an alternative to typing in your password.
