    The specification we'll be addressing says that if a user fails to identify himself/herself using his/her device's authenticator or external authenticator(s) supported by python-fido2, such user should be removed from the database, logged out of the application and then redirected to the registration page to restart the process. This is to ensure that only verified users who used the supported attestation formats during registration are authenticated and authorized.
