| Password authentication is known to be a security liability on the Web. The [https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/ W3C Web Authentication Working Group is developing a specification] for using Scoped Credentials to supplement or replace passwords. Mozilla intends to implement Web Authentication (WebAuthn) specification.

| ** You can test a "Soft Token" using any recent version of Firefox using the instructions at https://u2f.bin.coffee/
| |
| * 2017 Jan: Draft WebAuthn JS API available, hidden behind a pref, using the Soft Token from U2F.

| ** [https://github.com/jcjones/u2f-hid-rs/issues/42 u2f-hid-rs Issue #42]
| |
| | |
| All of the above dates are for landing in Firefox Nightly.
| |
| | |
| '''Goal''': permit use of U2F tokens via a user-controllable preference (not on by default) in Firefox 56 or 57 (Done in '''Firefox 57'''), and Web Authentication (on by default) in Firefox 59 or 60. (See [[RapidRelease/Calendar]])
| |
| | |
| === Using U2F / WebAuthn ===
| |
| | |
| WebAuthn is enabled by default. To enable U2F as well, enable this preference in '''about:config''':
| |
| * security.webauth.u2f
| |
| | |
| Enabling debugging (example for OSX):
| |
| | |
| MOZ_LOG="webauthnmanager:5, webauth_u2f:5, webauth_u2f:5, u2fkeymanager:5, u2fhidtoken:5, u2fmanager:5" ~/Desktop/NightlyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
| |
| | |
| Enabling the soft token:
| |
| | |
| In '''about:config''' enable:
| |
| * security.webauth.webauthn_enable_softtoken
| |
| | |
| This currently stops the use of USB tokens, as the soft token always answers first. To see its code, check https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/webauthn/U2FSoftTokenManager.cpp#151.
