WPF app with webview tested with https://demo.yubico.com.
But it shows browser not supported.
At the same time, the edge browser works fine.
On checking the user agent of WPF app and Edge below difference found.
WPF WebView User Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; WebView/3.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362
Edge User Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362
