It asks me to enter a "security key" into my USB port, which I do not have. Is that the expected behaviour? Both Chrome and Firefox on Windows.
So are you saying I need to change how I log into Windows to be able to use this website / security method? I didn't really trust Windows Hello because of all the junk they bundle with Windows now. I just assumed it had some angle to it.
I'll have to do some more reading into how this works. So far this seems much more complex than a password though. If the browser is just generating a keypair and sharing the public key, you'd think that would be possible without any specialized hardware chips or USB keys.
Difference is the private key can never be read again. It can only be used to sign things.
