No u2f support? :(

0 comments

U2f support is badly hampered by half-assed browser support. Only chrome enables it by default, Firefox disables it by default, and no love from safari. Even LastPass in the browser uses yubico’s proprietary otp algorithm rather than u2f.

It seems that Apple is working to add support for hardware tokens. It is all a bit vague, but the latest Safari Preview notes state [1]:

Added support for CTAP HID authenticators on macOS

It also gives me "Web Authentication" under "Experimental features" in the Develop menu.

U2F support in Firefox should work out of the box if the developers use the WebAuthn API and not the old JS library: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/01/using-hardware-token-based...
