SSH: Unable to download resident keys

[kanru]

Unable to download resident keys. It looks like ssh/libfido2 is still using the 0x41 code defined in FIDO_2_1_PRE, not the FIDO_2_1 one 0x0A implemented in ctap_types.

$ solo2 ls
Solo 2 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (CTAP+PCSC, firmware 1:20200101.9)

The debug1: check_sk_options: option uv is unknown line in ssh is printed after checking the fido_credman_get_dev_metadata() returns FIDO_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND

$ fido2-token -I -c /dev/hidraw1
Enter PIN for /dev/hidraw1:

Yeah, this is a bug (not responding to both pre and official code), will be fixed in next release.

@nickray do you have any idea when that could be? solo2 is so so close from being usable in my case but lack of resident keys is real blocker. I'm unsure if it's better to continue waiting or order the newest yubikeys.

@arathunku I ordered (only) one yubikey 5. Works out of the box and there are some nice KeePass plugins. Also has a usable OTP App for Windows in Microsoft Store, although mediocre. Given the current speed of development, i think we will have to wait one year or more to get usable software :-(

[needs-coffee]

To add to the above i am also unable to get resident key ssh working on the solo 2.

@pbl987 yubico just released an updated TOTP app (in beta) for desktop which works fairly well. https://www.yubico.com/blog/introducing-yubico-authenticator-6-for-desktop/

Discussed further in https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/discussions/108, I believe this should work now. @kanru do you have the current firmware version, and does your device have both a PIN and an openssh "sk" credential?

[kanru]

@nickray I updated to latest firmware. Now I'm getting FIDO_ERR_INVALID_CREDENTIAL

I can't use fido2-token to reset the key. But I managed to use chrome to reset the key, then I reset the pin and now I can create and download resident keys. 🎉

[sowbug]

Per my comment in https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/discussions/108#discussioncomment-3627818, I discovered that on Ubuntu 20.04, fido2-tools 1.3.1 doesn't work ($ fido2-token -I -c /dev/hidraw0 gives fido2-token: fido_credman_get_dev_metadata: FIDO_ERR_MISSING_PARAMETER), but if I build libfido2 from source and install, thereby ending up with version 1.12.0 of that library, then it works fine. Hope this helps someone else.
