Yeah, also thought so, but here it says "and file:// URLs are also considered to have been delivered securely." (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure...). Am I missing something?

Hmm, I must have misread that paragraph based on my expectation.

But you're right. Just tried it and it told me:

"Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Public-key credentials are only available to HTTPS origin or HTTP origins that fall under 'localhost'. See https://crbug.com/824383"

Unfortunate :/
