    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.

    After experimenting with https://webauthn.io I was quickly convinced I wanted to implement them also. So I got to work, reading up the specification, and implementing the library - Webauthn4j - github As soon as I got a basic implementation going it dawned on me, how am I going to test this?

    Hey all! I'm working on some personal projects and I'm wondering if it's worth to implement WebAuthn into them. I'm mostly looking at the library WebAuthn4J since it also provides a starter for Spring.
