Correct. You'll need a FIDO key to log in in that case

  What in the spec precludes this from being implemented in software? [edit] Reading more of the spec it definitely seems like they meant for it to be possible to implement this in software. So while a physical FIDO device might be preferable, it shouldn't be necessary.

    Where would that software run? In the browser or a separate app?
    • eikenberry 8y ago
      Probably in a separate app, like the current system level key/password management solutions.

    It looks like https://github.com/github/SoftU2F https://github.com/github/SoftU2F would work for that. I believe Chrome’s dev channel also has experimental soft webauthn support.

      Also Krypt uses it to store keys on your phone: https://krypt.co/ https://krypt.co/

      Currently, it does not because the browser aborts when it loses focus: https://github.com/github/SoftU2F/issues/51 https://github.com/github/SoftU2F/issues/51
