Problems with WebAuthn and Chrome about kr-u2f

[agrinman]

@mdp thanks for the bug report. I can confirm the popup doesn't close in some cases. I think the login behavior is because you've already registered with Krypton...it might be the case that if you register multiple times it saves both keys on the pseudo account. Maybe try changing the user name?

Yep, you were right. Changing the username fixes the login issue. Is there any way to "clear" the accounts?

[agrinman]

Maybe clear the session cookies?

Thanks, Alex. The login seems like a minor issue with the UI on Chrome. There might not even be an easy way to fix it since it's probably more on Chrome's end.

Here's the issue/how to reproduce it:

1. I register with a new identity, say [email protected], using TPM (in my case, a fingerprint reader), and then register using Krypton/CrossPlatform.
2. Now WebAuthn.io has two public keys for me at [email protected]. At this point, I "Login", and they pass back 2 "Allowed Credentials", one of which is known by Chrome to be tied to TPM.
3. Chrome pops up the TPM Auth, while Krypton on my phone asks if I want to Login to Webauthn.io. Saying yes on Krypton has no effect on the popup nor logging in.

The workaround:
On the last step, before approving the Krypton request, click the "Choose another option" and select "Verify via USB". THEN approve the existing request on the Krypton app.

I think this is the same issue that occurs for Google sites, where Chrome's own dialog does not close when the Krypton request is approved. The underlying website processes the request properly, and logs in, but Chrome's dialog does not recognise that the 2 factor transaction has already completed.
