The rawId read-only property of the PublicKeyCredential interface is an ArrayBuffer object containing the identifier of the credentials.

The PublicKeyCredential.id property is a base64url encoded version of this identifier.

Note: This property may only be used in top-level contexts and will not be available in an <iframe> for example.

Value
