U2F support in Tor
Originally created by @coeos on #16671 (Redmine)
Hi,
is it possible to enable U2F authentication in the Tor Browser?
I know this has been discussed in the past but there has been some
progress on the Firefox side since then, as Firefox now supports U2F by
default (so filing this under “bug” rather than “feature request”).
However I wasn’t able to get it to work in the Tor Browser. It simple
doesn’t pick up the device when I plug it in; the device is supposed to
flash but doesn’t do anything; pressing the button doesn’t allow to
authenticate. The yubikeys I tested with (Neo and 5) work fine for
challenge-response with KeepassXC however.
What I’ve tried so far:
(based on the previous thread):
-installed libu3f-host0
-downloaded the 70-u2f.rules to udev/rules.d and ran sudo udevm control
—reload-rules
(additionally):
enabled the 4 security.webauth* lines (u2f, webauthn, enable usbtoken
and enable softtoken not sure the last one is relevant) in the tor
browser config (about:config).
