I have two working nitrokeys, but don’t seem to be able to register them on this forum. The two Nitrokey3 keys work fine at Google, but not here on this forum. My keys support: FIDO2 and FIDO U2F So am I missing something? Detailed steps: During the registering-process windows first asks for a …

Interesting, I though firmware updates were not available for the newest nitrokeys (3A/3C when writing this). Is there an easy way to “see” firmware version without using the software Nitropy? (Nitropy is currently experimental for windows, and need libUSB libraries) … And the more I read about …

Sorry, can’t help you with the Windows side of things, never used them with my Windows partition. If you get nitropy running, nitropy nk3 update will update them, only plug in one at a time. I’ve done several updates this way. Be careful though, depending on the version you are running, there might…

So finally I made some tests: Setup: Windows 10, 22H2, jan-23 update, and Firefox 109.0.1) Nitrokeys at latest firmware (as of 4th feb-23): v1.2.2 Summary: When running Firefox with admin-rights user it works to register/login to the forum details: popup asking for a pin I set for “Windows he…

So made some final tests on the forum using “Authenticate with Security key”: First you get the forum popup for “Two-Factor Authentication” Then you get a popup from “Windows security” asking two questions PIN-code Entering the Windows Hello-PIN here logs you in to the forum Security key / Har…

Another update: Been in contact with support of both Fairphone, and Nitrokey, and both forwarding me between them. So gave up that route. Did a quick test today (Firefox 111, and Windows 10) and with these steps: Plugged in one of my unregistered Nitrokey3 hardware keys in a USB3-port Fairphone …

Thanks hirnsushi The more I think about this it could be as easy being an issue when activating (and configuring) “Windows hello with pin”. It is a functionality that (to my knowledge) uses the TPM module to use a pin to unlock a more complex security key, to log into windows. And it is THIS functi…

I think that even if you find out it’s related to TPM and this forum it will only help if you’re sure it’s not a general problem with Discourse. So in your case is first test the problem with https://meta.discourse.org/ If your problem even happens there then you might ask for a solution over ther…

I was trying to set up my nitrokey 3C as passkey for the forum login. Being logged in, after clicking ‘Add Passkey’ in preferences/security/Passkeys, i re-authenticate with my password. Then my browser (firefox) tells me to touch my key. The nitrokey blinks and i touch it, and it blinks green. It…
