What went wrong?
Watch detected as microphone on Windows 11 Notebook after single-factor mode enabled in WearAuthn
Steps to reproduce
- Connect watch to notebook
- Setup WebAuthn on websites
- Enable single-factor mode in WearAuthn
- Reconnect to notebook
- Model is displayed correctly but not recognised as WebAuthn key
Which model is your watch?
Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (SM-R925F)
Which Android version is running on your watch?
Android: 11
Wear OS: 3.5
One UI: 4.5
Which version of WearAuthn are you using?
0.9.17
What i have done
- Remove watch from bluetooth list
- Reboot both devices
- Reinstall Watch app
There isn't anything in particular that changes about the Bluetooth level behavior of WearAuthn when single-factor mode is enabled.
I think that this is an instance of a more general issue that is unfortunately inherent in the design: Most Bluetooth stacks don't handle devices well that dynamically change their Bluetooth identity (e.g. between sound/keyboard/mouse). I have had similar issues in the past, especially with Windows hosts, that required multiple resets of both parts of the connection to resolve.
I reset my Watch and it now works again even when it is displyed as an microphone.
