unable to register

This could be user error, but I'm not able to register either of the 2 u2fzeros I just received last week from Amazon on either GitHub, Google, or https://u2f.bin.coffee/. On every registration attempt, the light never turns orange, although it goes from green to blue when I hold the button down. I've tried with Firefox 60 and Chromium 67 on Arch Linux, using all 3 USB ports on my laptop. It seems to me I have a similar problem to #69, which was attributed to faulty devices. However, I was wondering if someone could explain to me how I could confirm that, or suggest what I might be doing wrong.

When did you order them? In the U.S.?

e3bo commented

I ordered them on June 3 in the U.S. They shipped on June 6. The return address on the shipping envelope is Lexington, KY.

I'm going to try using them in a Windows computer in a few minutes.

Just a very random guess: did you add ehe udev rule that is required to operate u2f devices on linux? (Not sure if they are added by default)

That was it. Thanks for your patient help. I looked at the wiki last night but somehow missed that. For anyone else with this problem, see instructions on this page:
