I'm using Playwright to automate things on a website that I am using Fido2 u2f. I can't run it in headless mode as I need to be ready to touch my u2f when it's prompted. This is very annoying.
Is there a way to accept the u2f without me having to click it? Via code.
Thank you.
You can use the virtual authenticators API defined in the WebAuthn spec to programmatically set up automatic responses to WebAuthn in your automated testing pipeline .
The endpoints defined in there are REST requests you make in the browser, so as long as PlayWright gives you a mechanism for executing JS in the headless browser you're testing with then you should be able to set up a software authenticator to respond to WebAuthn API invocations without any interaction on your part.
