    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:

    Or with a middleware:

    Using the Hello API:

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