The built-in Windows Mail application doesn't have the necessary handlers for FIDO authentication, so that one makes sense.
One of my devices is a Feitian MultiPass FIDO.
The Windows Mail Application is an example of such an application (this gives a message saying "You can only use your security keys with Google Chrome." Another example of such an application is UpSafe's Free Gmail Backup which takes me to the U2F prompt screen image above. What can I do to get these applications and others with a similar interface and prompt to recognize my key? If that is not possible, why? Further, if it is not possible, short of leaving 2-step verification, what alternatives are available? My understanding is that Windows' Internet Explorer 11 does not support FIDO or U2F, so I tried disabling Windows Internet Explorer in hopes it would switch the back end to Edge which might work better. I can't even figure out what browser is being used for this authentication. I am never able to get this window to recognize my key. I enter in my user name in screen 1, password in screen 2, and then I get third the key step: Unfortunately, I have a few Windows applications which I cannot get to work with my key. “We’re not exactly there with default settings on an iPhone yet, so there’s some work that developers need to do to enable their apps to work with the Lightning key.I have successfully used my YubiKey to get my Chrome and Firefox browsers to get my 2-step verification to work with my Google account. “It’s iPhone it’s restrictive,” says Jerrod Chong, senior vice president of product at Yubico. Yubico won’t have an actual product until later this year and needs developer buy-in for its Lightning token to reach its full potential. On the opposite side, it will offer a USB-C connector for MacBooks. To that end, the company will finally be able to make a YubiKey that fits into the iPhone and iPad’s proprietary Lightning port, giving those devices the seamless security that already works so well on PCs. The upshot: Yubico has received MFi certification, meaning Apple will officially support it as a hardware partner. The only problem? It’s been largely unusable on the iPhone. Its YubiKey token can act as a second layer of security for your online accounts and can even let you skip out on using passwords altogether. Over the last several years, Yubico has become close to ubiquitous in the field of hardware authentication.
