BoilerKey Extension

This is a Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Opera extension that automates BoilerKey. The code is based heavily off of this Python script made by u/elnardu.

NOTICE

This extension has been deprecated with the addition of Passkeys to Duo Mobile. Passkeys allow you to authenticate using Touch ID (macOS) or Windows Hello (face/fingerprint or PIN). This is much more secure than the authentication method used by this extension!

To set up a Passkey, go to the "Manage devices" page in Duo and click "Add a device". Then select Touch ID or Windows Hello depending on what platform you're using.

Security Considerations

This extension is less secure than using BoilerKey as intended. It stores a secret key in plain-text in your browser's local storage.

However, chances are, if someone has enough access to your computer to steal these details, you have bigger issues on your hands.

Use at your own risk!
