Sooner or later I'll move away from Gmail b/c they make it hard to U2F be used with Firefox. More U2F is the way to go, hopefully everyone supports it in the not too distant future.
- guitarbill 8y agoRight? The only reason I can see for them making it so hard is to pimp Chrome. Firefox supports U2F, and they know I also have an authenticator app which works with any browser. But no, they have to make it awkward and shove a Chrome ad in my face. Very jarring, and yet another disgusting move from Google (one that has gotten very little press).
- emlun 8y agoGoogle did suddenly start supporting U2F in Firefox a few months ago!
- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoSomehow doesn't work for me :-(
- todd8 8y agoU2F is by default disabled in Firefox. You have to turn it on before using your Yubico (or other FIDO) key for a service being accessed though Firefox. It’s easy to enable.

- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoDid that some time ago already, doesn't work for me, I can't log in with my Yubikey, which at the same time works from Chrome.
- todd8 8y agoOh sorry it wasn't something simple. I just enabled it on my laptop yesterday and it worked (Firefox 62.0.2 running on MacOS 10.14). At first I thought that I hadn't enabled right. After checking the setting again, I found the problem--I had plugged the Yubico Key in upside-down.
