Problem Description:
My FIDO2 security key (Thetis brand) is not detected by the system or
Firefox. I am unable to register passkeys or use 2FA.
Expected Behavior:
The FIDO2 security key should be detected and usable for WebAuthn
authentication after ensuring udev rules are in place.
Actual Behavior:
The system and browser report that no passkey can be created on this device.
The necessary hid_u2f kernel module appears to be missing from the provided
kernel packages, even though the system is fully up-to-date.
System Information:
* Operating System: Linux Mint [22.2]
* Firefox Version: [146.0.1]
* Kernel Version: 6.8.0-90-generic
* Security Key Model: Thetis Pro FIDO2 Security Key-
Passkey,USB-A,USB-C, and NFC SKU: MB000493
Relevant Command Outputs:
1. Attempting to load the module fails because it cannot be found:
1 $ sudo modprobe u2f_hid
2 modprobe: FATAL: Module u2f_hid not found in directory
/lib/modules/6.8.0-90-generic
2. The package that should contain the module is already installed:
1 $ sudo apt-get install -y linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-90-generic
2 Reading package lists... Done
3 Building dependency tree... Done
4 Reading state information... Done
5 linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-90-generic is already the newest version
(6.8.0-90.91).
6 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
3. Searching the installed packages confirms the u2f_hid or hid_u2f
module is missing:
1 $ dpkg -L linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-90-generic | grep u2f
2 /lib/modules/6.8.0-90-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-u2fzero.ko.zst
(Note: Only the specific `hid-u2fzero` driver is present, not the
required generic `hid_u2f` driver).
