Update : I have been able to register my 2 solo2 keys on Github So the registering problem seems to be directly related to that "Extended Information" thing. |

What works and does not work on Codeberg : Solokey version 1 USB-C : OK All keys did required to click a "Proceed" when registreing in firefox followed by action on key. Github : all 4 keys did add without any issue, because Github does not seem to required "extended information" from keys when registering. |

I have posted this problem in the https://github.com/solokeys/solo2-cli/i but as this is probably NOT CLI issue, I'm posting it here again :/
Two brand new solo keys.
One in USB-A and one in USB-C
Both are "hacker" models with unlocked firmware.
Installed solo2-cli and build it using cargo.
Then upgraded the two keys firmwares :
USB-A : Solo 2 88E370EEB9BF535D8BE663F07199AF8B (CTAP+PCSC, firmware 2:20220822.0, unlocked)
USB-C : Solo 2 0D07FCA9C11BE25AB005312E3D6851E3 (CTAP+PCSC, firmware 2:20220822.0, unlocked)
Went to Codeberg. I already have a registered key.
Choose to add the Solo Key.
I only have the USB-C key pluggued. Firefox asks me to press on key
I touch the key and get an "unknwon error" from Firefox.
I remove the USB-C key. Plug the USB-A key.
Try to register the Solo2 key. "unknwon error"
I have installed the file 70-solo2.rules in path :
/etc/udev/rules.d
And udev has been restarted.
On this same machine, I have two other keys that work without any issue or problem :
A Yubikey in USB-C format
A USB-A key-id.com key
The Solo2 keys work nowhere. Usb-C and Usb-A keys do not work on ANY website where all the other keys do work.
I have thus deleted the current registered key-id.com key from Codeberg
Plugged the Solo2 key in USB-C format
Error I get is :
Could not read your security key.
unknown error
Remove the Solo2 USB-C key and plug the Solo2 USB-A key.
Try to register key on Codeberg :
Could not read your security key.
unknown error
Before I am allowed to press the sides of the key, Firefox displays a message that says :
codeberg.og is requesting extended information about your security key
So I think that the Solo2 keys fail to give access to whatever that "extended information" is.
I now plug again the key-id.com USB and register the key :
I get the same Firefox message. Led on key blinks. I press the button
It immediatly works and the key is registered.
It's a standard FIDO U2F key that required no configuratoin, nothing. Just works out of the box.
But I would like to use at least 2 keys so I won't lose access if I lose one of them :(
