Error: Response was never received

Recently Akamai MFA is not working for a few days in my environment.
Is this happening only for me?

@acevif Did you manage to resolve it?

[acevif]

@andriisemenov-emma No.
I gave up because I couldn't resolve it.

[nikhilty]

@andriisemenov-emma @acevif Are you using the latest 1.1.1 version of AKR?

[andriisemenov-emma]

yes,
akr --version
akr - Akamai Krypton 1.1.1

[acevif]

@nikhilty I was using 1.0 but I've already uninstalled it.
I will try it again when I have free time.

@nikhilty I am experiencing similar behaviour with AKR 1.1.1 after upgrading from MacOS Monterey (12.6.3) to Ventura (13.2).

In my case, akr check works:
akr check
You're all set!

However, connecting to the demo ssh server fails:
ssh ssh.demo.krypt.co -p 5000
kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by 213.188.209.187 port 5000

I am also unable to connect to github.com:
git push
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

My ~/.ssh/config file contains:
# Begin Akamai MFA SSH Config
Host *
IdentityAgent /Users/<my-username>/.akr/akr-ssh-agent.sock
# End Akamai MFA SSH Config

I have Akamai MFA v1.12.0 running on Android 13. akr status shows that it is paired with my Mac, both the app and akr load show my SSH key, and the key is added to my GitHub account.

All of this was working correctly before upgrading to MacOS Ventura.

I have uninstalled AKR, deleted the related files (~/.akr), rebooted, and reinstalled without success.

Do you have any ideas for troubleshooting this?

It looks like security keys is disabled in MacOS openssh distribution by default. Please follow below steps and try again

Use Homebrew's OpenSSH
$ brew install openssh

Once installed, you have to override the one in your PATH by putting the openssh folder at the beginning of your PATH in your rc file like this
$ export PATH=$(brew --prefix openssh)/bin:$PATH

Let me know if you face any issues.
