Does anybody here regularly use Firefox with FIDO/U2F for two-factor authentication? Does it work reliably for you? Because it doesn't for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, seemingly at random, and sometimes for a whole stretch of time. By "it doesn't work" I mean that Firefox displays its popup, but the U2F token doesn't flash, so it isn't being accessed. Importantly, I use ssh with U2F-backed keys a double-digit number of times each day, and that works 100% reliably. This rules out various failure modes such as device permissions or USB problems. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
