| Post subject: | [Solved] FIDO Security Key not recognized as keyboard |
I just bought two keys, one NEO and one ordinary FIDO security key (blue). The NEO works great, I can press the button at any time to get a code. The FIDO security key however does not, it is not recognized as a keyboard by my OS (Ubuntu). It does work on the U2F demo page, but I cannot get it to function as a keyboard. When I plugin my NEO and check dmesg it is identified as USB HID v1.10 Keyboard and USB HID v.1.10 Device. When I plugin my FIDO Security Key it is only identified as a USB HID v.1.10 Device. Any ideas? |

USB U2F tokens do not generate OTPs, so they have no need to emulate a keyboard. The NEO has an OTP capability which does emulate a keyboard. It is entirely separate from U2F, which is exposed as a special USB HID. In other words, what you describe entirely matches the functional expectations for the respective devices. The blue token will never enumerate as a USB keyboard, because this is not needed for U2F. |

Thanks, while waiting for this reply I looked at the comparison chart and realized the FIDO U2F device does not in fact emulate a keyboard. |
