Anyone else get a message that U2F support will be ending in July 2022?
I have a Yubikey that I use and is registered as a two factor verification device.
I recently got an email from FM about it...
The message says:
Quote:
We will be removing support for U2F at the end of July.
You currently have a security key called "blah blah blah Yubikey" registered to your Fastmail account.
This security key uses an older form of authentication known as U2F, which has been superseded by WebAuthn.
When we remove support for U2F, this key can no longer be used to validate you when logging in to your Fastmail account. This means that you will need to update your security key to use WebAuthn.

My Yubikey an older key, bought in 2016, and is FIDO U2F security key.
So as far as I can tell, it will no longer be able to be used.
The quoted "WebAuthn" is FIDO2, which is not what I have.
I can't magically upgrade it to FIDO2.
I think what this means for me is that if I want to use a Yubikey with FM, I'll need to fork out another US$45 (+ GST + shipping) for the version that uses FIDO2.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll just stick with the free Google Authenticator App for my 2nd factor.
Seems to me I'm forced to take a backward step in 2FA, unless I buy a new key.
Anyone else in the same boat?
