Caprine: 2FA Security Key Doesn't Work

Created on 14 Aug 2019 · 3Comments · Source: sindresorhus/caprine

Besides also running into the login issues as reported in other recent issues, I have a Yubikey for 2FA that doesn't work in the app. I just sits on the "Insert your security key" page.

I do click on the "Use a different method" which takes me to a browser for FB to verify via my account that this is a valid client. I go through the steps and it looks verified in FB, but the app is unaffected and won't log me in. I was able to login a little while ago and I think after I authorized via FB, but I don't quite remember.

Maybe it's just me, but has anyone had their security keys work in Caprine?

I've been having the same issue when I got signed out. It used to do the same thing but I could click "this was me" in Facebook in Chrome, quit Caprine, restart Caprine, sign in again, and the sign in would go through (presumably due to it having a saved, approved [via another session] cookie).

This no longer works. "Try another way" opens in Chrome, I do the "yes it's me", but I can never sign in.

We need to be able to either use the security key (unlikely) or be able to have the link for "try another way" open in-app so we can put in a 2-factor code.

Same issue here :( I used to do like @cbenard but since it doesn't work anymore, I can't use Caprine at all
