Chromium 72+ has broken Ledger U2F support #306
Comments
Hi @gre, |
it shouldn't be a problem. |
Hi!I know how to get around this error when signing transactions! |
everything works fine for binance DEX! |
We are talking about windows or Linux? |
@Luganova from what we have seen it affects all platform. |
I agree! It is necessary to confirm the transaction in a split second! I did not have time-time out! |
It appears that a Chrome update may have solved the problem. Waiting for more confirmations. |
Working on latest chromium's latest revision 637660. https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ |
On chrome 72, this also causes the error |
Still seeing this in the latest version of chrome - 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit) |
I get the same error with |
I'm having the same issue, despite the fact that ledger support advised using brave and opera browser but it's still not working in all these platforms with same error U2F Timeout. |
1.1.8 |
Same here. It used to work with Brave a couple of weeks back but not it's broken there too |
Here too. For me it used to work with Opera some weeks ago but now that does not work either. |
It still timeout when I use the brave |
Not working for me too, I have tried Opera, Brave, last Chromium... |
@iicc1 for us the workaround was to quickly (during 1 second) confirm twice |
Thanks for you reply @poserr, I didn't see it. I was finally able to do with an old Brave release that I downloaded here: https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/releases |
@iicc1 which one did you download from those? |
@dzsobacsi v0.25.300 |
Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) U2F timeout still exists |
v.0.25.300 didn't work for me ... |
I have this error. Update: Was able to work around. Copied the MetaMask data and sent the identical transaction via MEW in the advanced data field instead and it worked. |
Thanks for all the suggestions. I seem to have solved the problem independently, well at least temporarily. But I’m still of the opinion this is a big issue for the community. Like the above poster, I also lost access to my tokens. More importantly I was unable to conclude several time sensitive trades on a DEX because of this “known issue”. I’m just amazed that this isn’t a bigger deal across the web. I’m also amazed that this has not been solved yet. Its been months now. I’m sorry but the first post on this thread was in Feb. Anyway enough, I’m sorry about the rant. Here is what I did. First I uninstalled the latest version ofChrome and reverted back to an older version. I installed a version that was released just before Feb 2019, when the known issue occurred. I used Version 71.0.3578.80 (Official Build) (64-bit) |
Tried everything. old version of opera will only allow install of ver Version 3.14.1 of metamask which does not support Ledger! There is NO WAY to access ERC 20 Tokens on Ledger. This is crazy! |
I used Chrome Beta and that one works for me ;) |
Worked with: Metamask: 6.7.2 |
Still getting "Failed to sign with Ledger device: U2F TIMEOUT" on Manjaro/Brave. What can I do? It's been weeks. :/ |
Also hangs the Ledger dead. |
Alright, I could actually get around the aforementioned issue by following this link (granted, I probably should've look there earlier): https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165269-Fix-connection-issues I was missing this part: "wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash" However, now I keep getting "Failed: need signature." It's really not funny anymore. |
It is hilarious that they recommend searching for a driver for windows 10 that doesn't exist. |
This simply doesn't work. There are no windows drivers that I can find. Please provide a direct download link for your drivers. |
This does not work. On every browser (Chrome, FF, Brave, Opera) MM times out too soon with the latest firmware (1.5.5) and Ethereum app. The topic of this bug should be changed to reflect this is a general problem with Ledger support and MetaMask. It should also include the fact that MM U2F hangs the ledger stone dead when attempting to sign an ERC20 transaction (or any transaction with contract data). The lack of progress on this bug is dismaying in the extreme; it makes the Ledger almost completely useless when browsing web3/u2f pages. |
Will LedgerHQ/nanos-secure-sdk#21 fix this bug? |
I sent some erc-20 tokens to my ledger prior to discovering this issue (trying to be safer!). Obviously I can't move them now in metamask . Am I SOL until this is resolved or a new ledgerlive is released? I tried @dogperrokukur 's post of rolling back chrome/mm extension from Jun19 and the page just freezes on the "connect a hardware wallet" screen of metamask. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. |
If you're running Windows 1903 please see https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/cxf3h9/new_beta_windows_pop_up_issue/ and report in the reddit thread if this fixed your issue |
Why is this discussion on reddit and not here? |
For better visibility and follow up - of course, you can also report here. We'll update the related threads once the beta is closed if the outcome is successful. |
The situation should be back to normal (using latest firmware) |
@gre what do we need to update for EOS? |
Still seeing this issue with Ledger Nano S firmware 1.6.0. Basically won't connect to Metamask. I can connect to Ledger Live 2.0. |
+1 Seeing this error as well |
Me too. 🙌 WebUSB is broken with the ledger web3-subprovider. |
Please share a (minimal) example that reproduce the problem in a new Github issue because it's not easy to understand what exactly you are raising. this task is about U2F support issue we had a year ago and have nothing to do with WebUSB or web3-subprovider. |
Any users that comes on a web app using
@ledgerhq/hw-transport-u2f
on Chromium 72+ will fall into a bug that breaks Ledger device communication. (U2F TIMEOUT
error).What happened?
Chrome 72+ has started being rolled out around February 21th, 2019. This new version has changes in the U2F protocol implementation that is breaking Ledger's.
What solutions
In the short term, Users can be advised to switch to Opera or Brave but it's probable that these browsers will upgrade Chromium as well.
In the mid term, we are working on a fix for U2F. It will only be a fix on the Ledger device side, meaning users will have to upgrade (the apps). If you are a developer of one of these applications, you can take a look at this for reference, for further questions please get in touch with @btchip or discuss on our Slack Devs.
In the long term, switching to WebUSB is probably going to be the good plan. At the moment, this API is still a draft spec but we anticipate it will be more widely supported in the future. It is much more relevant for Ledger devices (more performant, more features like being able to detect disconnection,..)
Regarding
@ledgerhq/hw-transport-webusb
current implementation, it works on latest firmware / apps but there are some slight different in the way it works (coming from u2f) which have some UI/UX implication. We'll try to document it better in the next weeks.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
