This enumeration is used to describe the [=attachment modality=] of an [=authenticator=] used to create a [=public key
credential|credential=] - either by the [=[RP]=] to express a preferred [=attachment modality=], or by the [=client=] to report
the [=attachment modality=] of an [=authenticator=] that was used.
This enumeration's values describe [=authenticators=]' [=attachment modalities=]. [=[RPS]=] use this for two purposes:

- to express a preferred [=authenticator=] [=attachment modality=] when calling
{{CredentialsContainer/create()|navigator.credentials.create()}} to [[#createCredential|create a credential]], and

- to inform the [=client=] of the [=[RP]=]'s best belief about how to locate the [=managing authenticators=] of the
[=credentials=] listed in {{PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions/allowCredentials}} when calling
{{CredentialsContainer/get()|navigator.credentials.get()}}.

<!-- The following text would be added by PR #882 https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/882

[=Clients=] use it to report an employed [=authenticator=]'s [=attachment modality=] after [[#createCredential|creating a
credential]] as a result of the [=[RP]=] calling {{CredentialsContainer/create()|navigator.credentials.create()}}.
