Enabling TouchID for U2F FIDO authentication

Google Chrome is able to access TouchID to complete WebAuthN FIDO authentication. The prompt looks like:

In Microsoft Edge, there is no prompt for TouchID for FIDO webauthn

Microsoft Edge Version 80.0.361.33 (Official build) Beta (64-bit)
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.53 Safari/537.36 Edg/80.0.361.33
The debug console shows:
[18220:775:0129/121549.155217:ERROR:device_event_log_impl.cc(162)] [12:15:49.155] FIDO: touch_id_context.mm:94 Touch ID unavailable because keychain-access-group entitlement is missing or incorrect 

 Is there is way to add the missing keychain-access-group entitlement?

  • Hi,
    there are flags you can try to enable (preferably using Canary channel that has the most features)

    in edge://flags/
    in the search bar type "auth"
