Fido2 key and their issues using them on Android
Hi Rakib, how are you?
Thank you for contributing this post to the community - that was a very interesting read!
Are you using Fido2 keys for work?
Hi Emilie_B,
Our goal is to make use of fido2 keys as the authentication method for shared Android devices, as it is considered as a phising-resistant MFA. With NFC support for CTAP2 on Android this could be achieved.
We do use it already for our shared Windows computers, and there is also support on the iOS devices.
Thanks for your reply Rakib - it's always interesting to understand where you're coming from!
The NFC support for CTAP2 is something I can share with the team as this is an interesting comment - I think USB-C is something that is becoming default (in Europe at least).
Also, a phishing-resistant MFA sounds appealing; have you tested multiple MFAs before setting up on fido2 keys?
USB-C usually takes to long and we need to manually disable OTP on each Yubikey, since we have standardized on Yubikey in our organization. NFC will provide a much faster way to sign in.
Our use case is health care/ frontline workers, where one comes in for their shift, grabs a dedicated Android devices and we want the users to log in the phone in a secure fashion.
It's a really interesting topic; I feel like I'm learning lots!
I'll pass this on to the team and will let you know what they say as soon as I hear back (bear with us as it might take a few days!)
Have a great weekend (a little bit in advance!) and speak soon 😊
