Akamai MFA for Firefox - Use phone as security key

Akamai MFA for Firefox is the companion extension to the Akamai MFA Authenticator app. It enables users to use their phone as a security key authenticator with the Firefox browser. No passwords or 6-digit codes are required. With push to login feature, it offers secure authentication immune to phishing. The extension is based on FIDO U2F and WebAuthn protocols, ensuring a zero-trust architecture where login information and keys are only stored in the app on the user's phone.

Lower quality product than krypton was. This addon has insane permissions its asking for that it absolutely does not need and it doesnt even seem to work at all anyway, its not detected then they want me to pay for this crap? maybe if they gave me the source code I would consider it.

Doesn't work with Google while Krypton did. The "Learn More" link in the extension description leads to a 404. Things don't look promising now that Akamai has taken this over.

Cannot pair with android if both are behind vpn, after pairing it all works over vpn but google account.
