Description Martin Stransky 2017-11-16 11:59:09 UTC
Steps to reproduce:

Try to login with a U2F Yubikey on either the Bitwarden Firefox addon or GitHub's website with Firefox 57 and Fedora 26.

The security.webauth.u2f config has been set to true.


Actual results:

The Bitwarden addon reports: U2F Error: 1
The GitHub page just says that something went wrong.

The same addon and webpage work with Firefox on Windows 10.

This is the demesg log from Fedora:
[ 2003.802889] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
[ 2003.884045] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=1050, idProduct=0120
[ 2003.884053] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 2003.884056] usb 1-1.2: Product: Security Key by Yubico
[ 2003.884060] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Yubico
[ 2003.889952] hid-generic 0003:1050:0120.0006: hiddev96,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [Yubico Security Key by Yubico] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input0
[ 2058.671048] usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 7

Ok, I just reproduced this on a fresh Fedora 26 install. What you need to do is the following:

> sudo dnf install u2f-hidraw-policy

Then restart. This made it work with the u2f-hid-rs Rust library used by Firefox, and by Firefox 57 itself.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:35:14 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2018-08-14 18:49:50 UTC
Why is this one filed against thunderbird?  This seems like a firefox bug.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 19:17:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 23:05:44 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
