fido2-manage: Managing FIDO2.1 Devices on Linux

Welcome to fido2-manage, your go-to tool for managing FIDO2.1 devices over USB or NFC on Linux systems. Whether you're handling Passkey (resident keys) management or basic key information retrieval, fido2-manage has got you covered. The tool uses a modified version libfido2 executable (with the source-code available as well) to allow for more intuitive interaction, including human-readable device names and also simplifies the process by allowing PIN entry directly as a command-line argument. It also provides a GUI written in Python/tkinter.

Key Features

  • FIDO2.1 Device Management: Effortlessly manage your FIDO2.1 devices, including Passkey (resident keys) management, directly from your Linux system.
  • Platform Compatibility: fido2-manage is designed to work seamlessly on any Linux distribution. While it should function on various distributions, it is primarily developed and tested on Ubuntu.
  • Cross-Brand Compatibility: Enjoy the flexibility of using FIDO2.1 (PRE or FINAL) keys from any brand, not only Token2. Whether it's Yubico, SoloKeys, or any other manufacturer, fido2-manage supports them all.
  • Enhanced Functionality: With FIDO2.0 keys, while basic information can still be retrieved, passkey management is not supported. However, for FIDO2.1 keys, fido2-manage offers comprehensive management capabilities.

Important Note

fido2-manage is currently in the early beta stage. While it provides essential functionality for managing FIDO2.1 keys under Linux, it is important to note that it is far from being a finished product. However, despite being in beta, it works well enough to fulfill the minimum set of tools required for FIDO2.1 key management on the Linux platform.
