Parent said they've been using it with USB for a year now. While Firefox says it's just now available to use with a USB for macOS, Linux, and Windows 7. Knowing nothing else I'm assuming an operating system other than these three (such as Windows 8+).
- wkat4242 3y agoThe problem wasn't the connection method. It was the type of authentication. With CTAP you can insert the stick, enter its pincode, touch it and you're logged in. It replaces even the username.. This never worked. What did work was using the token as a 2FA token only (FIDO1 method). But that doesn't replace passwords.
- dathinab 3y agoYes I have been using it with USB for well over a year, too. But I also only have been using a subset of the Webauthn standard, specifically the subset generally used when using it for the 2nd factor in 2FA. But the standard provides other usage methods, too. E.g. like using it as main factor + a PIN. And this methods had not yet been supported in the past.
