SSH-SK-HELPER(8)	     System Manager's Manual		SSH-SK-HELPER(8)

NAME
     ssh-sk-helper -- OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support

SYNOPSIS
     ssh-sk-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     ssh-sk-helper  is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to access
     keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.

     ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.

     A single option is supported:

     -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh-sk-helper  to  print  debugging	messages
	     about its progress.  This is helpful in debugging problems.  Multi-
	     ple -v options increase the verbosity.  The maximum is 3.

	     Note  that  ssh(1),  ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automati-
	     cally pass the -v flag to ssh-sk-helper when they	have  themselves
	     been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO
     ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)

HISTORY
     ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
