Short description

Saw this here Revolut adds (working) passkeys on Android - #9 by Encounter5729

HW Fido2 Provider is a credential provider that allows you to use your USB/Bluetooth/NFC security key for passkeys/fido2/u2f authentication.

Why I think this tool should be considered

Seems very useful to be able to use hardware passkeys on your device more easily.

Is not relying on Google Play Services I believe and it seems more easy to choose this at any time.

It can be set as additional passkey app allowing you to always pick it on passkey prompts besides your default password manager.

+1 from me. Works well on a recommended OS: GrapheneOS. Site should add it, if not as a separate tool, maybe on the OS page itself.

I’m all for adding an app like this but I think GitHub - mimi89999/Authnkey: Passkey credential provider for hardware security keys · GitHub seems like a better option from my experience using both apps.

I’m a bit confused here cause it seems to be 2 different apps.

The one from Izzy that I use, as far as I know comes from here:

Not the github link provided.

I have seen this one but haven’t tried it yet. I think it’s worth mentioning that Token2 has a blog post talking about it:

They are also providing a version of it on the Google play store now:

The AuthnKey is now available as a Google Play application under the name “FIDO Bridge.” The repackaged app only modifies the branding and package ID to support distribution via Google Play. The underlying AuthnKey project remains unchanged.

This is correct. @ph00lt0 when you can please change the website link for the project to s1m/hw-fido2-provider - Codeberg.org.

The one linked is a much older inactive project by Cotech Hardware Security SDK linked here for example: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/cotech-hardware-security-sdk/
