Does disabling 'web authn native' API lead to restriction of NFC?

If I disable 'web authn native API' using command "--disable-features=WebAuthenticationUseNativeWinApi", does it lead to any restriction of NFC?

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.


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.
