It worked great until yesterday, and today, I cannot get it to work. The video below illustrates the problem:

I have tried:

Clearing the cache of both HW Fido2 Provider and IronFox
Rebooting
Installing Key Driver BT Kunizoft
Disabling uBlockOrigin, Cookie Banner Blocker and Enhanced Tracking Protection

Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked! :D

I was/am using it through NFC. Although I did try to connect it through USB too, but to no avail. Maybe I just should've been more careful with when HW Fido2 Provider was last updated. IronFox's website recommended it...
