Description

File: [fido2/linux/index.rst] https://docs.nitrokey.com/fido2/linux/index.html

may be worth mentioning that privacy respecting browsers (librewolf) currently don't recommend FIDO2 passwordless authentication (doesn't work out of the box) and don't use CTAP2 protocol. When trying to set it up it won't work and won't use PIN (CTAP1).

Microsoft requires you to download their proprietary 2FA app to setup FIDO2 - please let's use another web app as an example.

Research direction

Open fido2/linux/index.rst and review the current FIDO2 setup instructions and web-app example. Update the page to mention the reported privacy-respecting browser limitations and replace the Microsoft 2FA example with another web app; done means both requested documentation changes are reflected clearly.
