Local, hardware-secured SSH keys via Windows Hello & TPM
6 followers
A modern SSH agent and authenticator that uses TPM combined with Windows Hello to generate hardware-isolated SSH keys. With just a quick Windows Hello fingerprint or facial recognition scan, you can complete secure SSH authentication instantly. No more worrying about private keys being stolen from your hard drive—enjoy a seamless, rock-solid, and passwordless hardware authentication experience.
HelloUKey is a modern, local SSH key vault powered by native Windows Hello and TPM. It ensures that every single SSH authentication prompt requires a biometric check (fingerprint or face ID), turning your PC into a hardware security key—hence the name "UKey".
Key Features:
Biometric Guard: Generates and protects SSH keys using native Windows Hello.
TPM Hardware Security: Transforms your PC's TPM chip into an isolated, hardware-backed SSH authenticator.
Smart Host Routing: Bind specific host configs to keys to prevent SSH clients from failing due to too many authentication attempts.
Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly as an SSH Agent for Git, PuTTY, OpenSSH, and more.
Been waiting for something like this for ages. The fingerprint unlock for SSH is so much smoother than digging through my password manager every time.
@ecegencogl26083 Haha, building this app is like adding a fingerprint authenticator to SSH. I hope you like it.
