Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
Does watch unlock now work natively with pam_tid? I know as of at least a few months ago it would only work if you could use touch ID, i.e. when the laptop was open. If it was docked, it would fall back to password auth.
I wrote a patcher that changed this behavior, it patched pam_tid directly on your system and just updates the API Apple calls to allow unlocking with watch-only when touch ID is unavailable:
https://github.com/inickt/pam_wtid
Was a fun reverse engineering experience and wrote up some more info in the README.

Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
For Windows, it seems it's possible[0, see footnote], however there are problems like general incompatibilities [1], and official support status is " We have this in our backlog. At this point it's not prioritized.".

0.footnote: "Windows Hello also supports other types of authenticators like internal TPM device(if they support generating ECDSA or Ed25519 keys, they can be used instead of FIDO/U2F security keys)."

Hardening SSH
Awesome article! Also found this tool (tavrez/OpenSsh-sk-winhello) for windows that lets you do this without admin access

[QUESTION] Is there a best way to manage multiple SSH on multiple Yubikeys?
Which is also how they are generated when retrieving them on a new computer via ssh-keygen -K since I used the application=ssh:yubikey_5 flag when first generating them. So something like ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -O resident -O application=ssh:yubikey_5c, but because I am on Windows I also had the -w winhello.dll flag (In case anyone stumbles on this question)

Using Yubikey FIDO with ssh-agent on macOS?
This is what i used but YMMV https://github.com/tavrez/openssh-sk-winhello/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Tell HN: GitHub no longer supporting unauthenticated `git://`
> Because AFAIK, (Fido) yubikey support is still missing.
Correct, hopefully Microsoft will provide an updated SSH client soon. It only requires recompiling OpenSSH with the correct flags.
Alternatively, use these build instruction for openssh with FIDO for windows:

> Using either the PKCS#11 support or the gpg applet requires some extra piece of software
For those wanting to do that, here are some ways:
Using a premade dll:
https://github-wiki-see.page/m/mooltipass/minible/wiki/Setti...
Or with a middleware:
https://github.com/mgbowen/windows-fido-bridge
Using the Hello API:
https://github.com/tavrez/openssh-sk-winhello
Given how many people came with their own ways, I believe there's enough demand for Microsoft to fix that.

How often should I rotate my SSH keys?
My knowledge of WebAuthn is limited but their invocation of the relevant API seems like it should work for fingerprints also.
