  • 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)."

    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?
    1 project | /r/yubikey | 1 Jun 2022
    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?

    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:

    Given how many people came with their own ways, I believe there's enough demand for Microsoft to fix that.

    My knowledge of WebAuthn is limited but their invocation of the relevant API seems like it should work for fingerprints also.
