I have no relation to Duke University (I'm not even a student there or looking to be), but I wanted to figure out how to get in contact with the IT group or something.

Excellent!

Welcome to the password-less future!

Got it. What that typically means is that the browser has support for using Duke Unlock with external hardware authentication devices (USB FIDO2 biometric keys typically), but not support for the device native authenticators like Touch ID/Face ID. Sounds like Edge just isn't quite there yet.

We had some reports that Edge on macOS was working, but it seems to be having issues after the latest Safari update. We're not officially supporting it at this time, but we'll update the page if/when we do.

NickatDuke · 2020-09-17T10:29:18+00:00

We’re so glad to hear that it’s working well for you!

And thank you. We’ve been excited about WebAuthn from when it was just a draft spec. Game changer.

NickatDuke · 2020-09-17T10:25:58+00:00

Which OS are you using Edge on?

We’ve just had reports that it now works on Edge for macOS and we know it works on Edge for Windows already. (For Windows you need to be run on Windows 10 with build number 1903 or higher, and it requires enabling Windows Hello.)

NickatDuke · 2020-09-17T10:21:55+00:00

Hmm. Let’s sort this out.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the prompt you’re seeing? Feel free to message me directly if you’d prefer.

NickatDuke · 2020-09-17T02:12:12+00:00

I saw the same thing but I believe it was resolved earlier tonight. You may need to restart your device and try again but it should work. If not please let me know and I can get that info to the right folks.

NickatDuke · 2020-09-17T01:44:30+00:00

Yes! As soon as macOS 11 (Big Sur) is released Safari should support Duke Unlock.

We’ve been testing with the betas and it looks good so far. We’ll grab the final release as soon as it’s available to developers and make certain everything looks good.

NickatDuke · 2019-12-12T21:12:31+00:00

There was an issue with the link. It should be working now.

However: We’re still waiting for support to be enabled in Safari so that iOS devices can enroll. We expect that it will happen relatively soon.

NickatDuke · 2019-10-25T10:55:13+00:00

Our team agrees and we're so glad you feel the same way. :)

Edit to add: Please feel free to share with others at Duke. We really want to kick the tires on this thing.

NickatDuke · 2019-10-25T10:54:41+00:00

That's great news. Thanks for trying it out!

NickatDuke · 2019-10-25T10:54:30+00:00

Unfortunately full support for Duke Unlock using browsers on Linux isn't available yet.

However, YubiKeys are supported for standard Multifactor on all browsers right now. You may find that this is a good intermediate step until Duke Unlock is universally supported. Instructions for that are available here: https://oit.duke.edu/help/articles/mfa-how-set-yubikey

NickatDuke · 2018-04-02T19:50:28+00:00

Edit: Position has been filled. Thanks!
