# SoftU2F is no longer supported

The SoftU2F project is deprecated and no longer supported. SoftU2F was created
to support Touch ID for U2F when browsers did not support it, but the functionality is now
available on macOS using Touch ID in:

- Safari (macOS 11.0 Big Sur)
- Google Chrome

SoftU2F has several compatibility issues that will not be fixed, so we recommend
switching to one of these alternatives.

Thanks to everyone who used SoftU2F over the years, and special thanks to Ben
Toews for writing and maintaining the original implementation!

Soft U2F is a software U2F authenticator for OS X. It emulates a hardware U2F HID device and performs cryptographic operations using the OS X Keychain. This tool works with Google Chrome and Opera's built-in U2F implementations as well as with the U2F extensions for [OS X Safari](https://github.com/Safari-FIDO-U2F/Safari-FIDO-U2F) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/u2f-support-add-on/).
