KB-9649: MFA mechanism - FIDO U2F Security Key does not work with Centrify Agent for Windows

Problem: 

The FIDO U2F Security Key authentication method does not work with Centrify Agent for Windows.

User-added image

Cause:

Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) and Universal 2 Factor (U2F) has been designed with websites and browsers. The purpose of this method is to be used with browsers and some FIDO U2F devices (like Yubikey) to contact OTP via OATH OTP method.


Resolution: 

At this time this is not supported by Windows and there is currently no resolution. However you can use Yubikey as an OTP Method.
