+### User verification caching extension (<dfn>userVerificationCaching</dfn>) ### {#sctn-user-verification-caching-extension}
+
+In some cases it is good enough for the [=[RP]=] to know whether the user was verified by the authenticator "recently".
+
+This extension allows the [=[RP]=] to specify such [=user verification=] caching time, i.e. the time for which the [=user verification=] status can be "cached" by the [=authenticator=].
+
+For example: Do not ask the user for a fresh [=user verification=] for sign-in if the user was verified by this authenticator within the past 300 seconds.

+    )
+    ```
+
+: Authenticator extension processing
+:: When user verification is requested, the [=authenticator=] triggers user verification only if more milliseconds have elapsed since the last time the user was verified than indicated by the maxTimeSinceLastUV value in the extension.
+
+: Authenticator extension output
+:: If no fresh user verification needed to be triggered triggered, the authenticator reports the time last last user verification time back to the [=[RP]=] to ensure the [=[RP]=] is aware that no fresh user verification was triggered.  It is up to the authenticator to decide whether to return the real elapsed time, or a "rounded" value. If user verification was requested, this value SHALL not exceed the value originally provided in the extension input.
