Currently having a problem with Harvard University requiring AuthN (w3c corp spec) without any OTP fallback. Which leaves me as a linux user and non-Google/Apple phone user completely fucked.
I see there's projects that create AuthN systems on linux using TPM. But none of them are available as packages, or seemingly tested well and who knows if they are just AI slop or scams or what.
And I'd be gauled to have to bug some hardware key.
Any advice?
