Authenticator Counter
The authenticators may have an internal counter. This feature is very helpful to detect cloned devices.
The default behaviour is to reject the assertions. This might cause some troubles as it could reject the real device whilst the fake one can continue to be used. You may also want to log the error, warn administrators or lock the associated user account.
To do so , you have to create a custom Counter Checker and inject it to your Authenticator Assertion Response Validator. The checker must implement the interface
Webauthn\Counter\CounterChecker.config/packages/webauthn.yaml
