WebAuthn is a module for the OathAuth extension, that provides support for U2F devices (such as YubiKey) by using the WebAuthn API in browsers. It enables support for logging-in using physical security tokens or biometric sensors along with regular password. Learn more about U2F on Wikipedia.

Requirements

WebAuthn requires OATHAuth and GMP php extensions to be installed as a prerequisite.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WebAuthn in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  wfLoadExtension( 'WebAuthn' );
