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

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

## DESCRIPTION
     **ssh-sk-helper** is used by [ssh-agent(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-agent/1/markdown) to access keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.

     **ssh-sk-helper** is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from [ssh-agent(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-agent/1/markdown).

     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-agent(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ssh-agent/1/markdown) will automatically pass the **-v** flag to **ssh-sk-helper** when it has
             itself been placed in debug mode.
