Steps To Reproduce

  1. Using a desktop computer, enable WebAuthn as the 2nd factor and use a YubiKey for this.
  2. Install the app on an iPad (which does not have NFC).
  3. On the iPad, try to log in using your email and master password.
  4. The app asks for the 2nd factor, and a pop-over browser windows for WebAuthn opens.
  5. Connect the YubiKey to the iPad using a USB-C-to-USB-A connector.
  6. Touch the YubiKey touch-thingy.
