Lunie: U2F Timeout in Chrome 72+

Created on 25 Feb 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: luniehq/lunie

Describe the bug
Ledger has announced an incompatibility issue that appear in Chrome 72+. Using transport-u2f results in U2F TIMEOUT.

Their recommendations at this moment are:

  • When U2F is used, migrate to other browsers not affected by the bug.
  • Switch to webusb. They will provide more information about this in the next few days.

It is likely that it will be necessary to switch to webusb.

We need to:

  • Analyse the implications of switching
  • Probably modify the ledger js library to use webusb instead. Most likely, the API will remain stable so Voyager should not be affected.

Ledger will apply a fix in their SDK that should resolve the issue without changes in Voyager.

Apps memory requirements have changed so I have submitted a PR at their request that includes this change.
Also we are submitting v1.1.0 that includes bech32 address explorer.

I have removed the webusb mention as it seems the fix will not require this.

Is this actually a problem? Didn't hear complaints so far.

Referencing related issues here to facilitate tracking:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=935131

It seems that Chrome has fixed the problem, but Ledger still keeps the issue open.

Closing as this apparently is no bug.
