It would be more clear. However we’ve decided to slow down the development to see how the current wp things go, so new features may take some time to ship. * The plugin would preform some compatibility check before allowing users to register new passkeys. Basically it checks if the required PHP extensions are installed and if the site is running under HTTPS. You should see warnings on the top of the plugin’s settings page (side menu – settings – wp-webauthn) if something is missing. The plugin needs some PHP built in extensions (gmp, mbstring, sodium) to work, but they may be missing on some PHP installations. If you are missing some PHP extensions and you’re not sure how to install them please ask your server service provider * Hope this helps * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] WebAuthn does not allow for creating Passkey](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webauthn-does-not-allow-for-creating-passkey/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webauthn-does-not-allow-for-creating-passkey/#post-18264142) * Hi mfw1999, * Go to your profile settings page (click your avatar on the top right) after activating the plugin, you should see the passkey registration form at the bottom of the page. You should be able to register multiple devices to one account. To register passkeys for other users, access to their profile settings pages via the user management page. * Don’t worry, you should still be able to login to your site if you logged out without registering any passkey. Traditional password login is not disabled by default unless you manually disable it. * let me know if you still have any questions 🙂 * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] Cannot get plugin to work on Android device](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-plugin-to-work-on-android-device/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-plugin-to-work-on-android-device/#post-18176865) * Hi richards1052, * could you please check if you have disabled user verification (which is not supported by android devices)? If you still have difficulty with passkeys on android devices, could you please enable logging in the plugin settings page and send us the logs through GitHub issue/wordpress support forum, so we can look into it?

This should be fixed when this plugin updates next time. This warning comes from `webauthn-framework` and should be fixed in the latest version. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] dead plugin?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dead-plugin-45/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dead-plugin-45/#post-17909896) * Hi levismodding, * I understand your concern. I’m working on the plugin right now 🙂 so please rest assured it is not dead. * Here’s the situation. Due to my personal circumstances I did pause the development for a while, and since this plugin is based on [https://github.com/web-auth/webauthn-framework](https://github.com/web-auth/webauthn-framework) which had just released version 5.0, I’m currently working on make the plugin compatible with this new version (and also new webauthn standard). I’ll publish updates once all these work done. * as for the “compatibility” tag, I’ll update it once I get current version tested on the latest WordPress. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] register new authentificator is greyed out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-new-authentificator-is-greyed-out/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-new-authentificator-is-greyed-out/#post-17475622) * Hi cy, * There are several reasons why the button is grayed out: Some required extensions are missing in your PHP installation; or your site is not running on HTTPS. Please check the plugin settings page for details. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] Can’t publish anything when loggin in with webauthn](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-publish-anything-when-loggin-in-with-webauthn/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-publish-anything-when-loggin-in-with-webauthn/#post-17304783) * Hi serpentes, * Sorry it takes some time to reply but unfortunatly I cannot reproduce this error on my end. I have tested wp-webauthn on a freshly installed wordpress instance and everything works. I’ve also tested some plugins that I identified from your error log (e.g. “Content Views”) but no error is found. * It is possible that this error is caused by another plugin, could you pls try deactivating other plugins and try again? If we can locate the incompatible plugin we may be able to fix it * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] For FAQ/readme: disables the Two Factor plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-faq-readme-disables-the-two-factor-plugin/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-faq-readme-disables-the-two-factor-plugin/#post-17298967) * Hi kitchin, * Yes, you are right. I’ll update README asap. I’d like to mention that this is not actually “disable” the Two Factor plugin, just “bypass” the 2FA when users trying to login through WebAuthn. When users trying to login by username and password, the Two Factor plugin will still work and ask for 2FA. This is because Two Factor is not compatible with wp-webauthn. Since WebAuthn offers same level of security naturally, it’s better to bypass 2FA when logging in through WebAuthn * See [https://github.com/yrccondor/wp-webauthn/issues/6](https://github.com/yrccondor/wp-webauthn/issues/6) * Hope this helps. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] Shortcodes & blocks vs. logging into wp-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-blocks-vs-logging-into-wp-admin/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcodes-blocks-vs-logging-into-wp-admin/#post-17298962) * Hi kitchin, 1. Yes, and this plugin is not offering a new login page so users have to use ` wp-login.php`. This plugin adds some buttons and text fields to `wp-login.php` so users can login using WebAuthn. Everything else is just like before. 2. This shortcode is to embed a login form that supports WebAuthn login in your pages. * Hope this helps. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] Not working on Hostinger](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-on-hostinger/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-on-hostinger/#post-17235251) * Hi pheck, * WP-WebAuthn requires Sodium to work. This is a built-in core extension since PHP 7.2.0. * Glad to know your problem is solved!

For “better control”, I mean sub sites should have options to opt in or out the auth set up for the whole network. However sometimes this is conflict with the “website domain” option since authenticators only work under the domain they registered. We’ll try our best to carefully design and implement all these features so that the options work intuitively. * Sorry for the late reply.

We are currently working on it but it may take some time. Simply switching to `get_site_option` does meet general needs, but we think it’s better to have more granular control over site permissions. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-WebAuthn] Front end shortcode not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-shortcode-not-working-2/) * Plugin Author [Axton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axton/) * (@axton) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-end-shortcode-not-working-2/#post-17114681) * Hi johnmontfx, * Thank you for reporting, I can now confrim this is a bug.

Have you enabled PHP warning output? For back-end, WP-WebAuthn sends messages in certain format to front-end. The front-end will show errors if messages sent by back-end cannot be parsed. If your PHP is producing warnings and warning output is enabled, it will happen.
