!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] needs some [context].

[{$pagename}] may refer to [NIST.SP.800-63B] or to the [FIDO Authenticator].

To [{$applicationname}] this is all just very confusing as an [{$pagename}] is nothing different than a [claim] (i.e. [Credential]) that is typically tied to a specific [Authentication Method] during the [Credential Enrollment] process by the [Identity Proofing] process.

Typically in [Password-based] [Authentication], there are two [Entities]:
* [UserId] 
* [password]
The [Authentication Method] determines how [Validation] of these two [claims] is performed and this process is [Authentication]

!! [NIST.SP.800-63B]
[{$pagename}] is defined in [NIST.SP.800-63B] as something that the [claimant] possesses and controls (typically a [cryptographic] module or [password]) that is used to [authenticate] the [claimant]’s [Digital Identity] which is what most people call a [Credential]

In previous editions of [NIST.SP.800-63] versions, this was referred to as a [token].
