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

## SYNOPSIS
       **ssh-sk-helper **[**-v**]

## DESCRIPTION
       **ssh-sk-helper **is used by [_ssh_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh/1/markdown), [_ssh-agent_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-agent/1/markdown), and [_ssh-keygen_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-keygen/1/markdown) 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      
               This is helpful in debugging problems.  Multiple **-v **options increase  the  verbosity.
               The maximum is 3.

               Note that [_ssh_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh/1/markdown), [_ssh-agent_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-agent/1/markdown), and [_ssh-keygen_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-keygen/1/markdown) will automatically pass the **-v **flag
               to **ssh-sk-helper **when they have themselves been placed in debug mode.
