Nitrokey 3C NFC on iOS Safari: Permanent message for the URL "nitrokey.com"

Nitrokeys FIDO2 / Nitrokey 3

I like to try the NFC functionality of my Nitrokey 3C NFC.

I found the sweet NFC spot on my iPhone.

I could register on webauthn.io

What’s really annoying is the permanent messages to open “nitrokey.com”, which ist induced by the stick, when it is placed on the display and safari is open.

How can I disable that “NFC-Tag with the url nitrokey.com” please?

Officially there is no way to deactivate it and as the NFC functionality is also tricky to get going, having NFC tag with url was quite handy to troubleshoot.

However, recent firmware introduced also flags to modify the Nitrokey 3 behavior. e.g. nitropy nk3 set-config and maybe in future this could be used to deactivate the URL tag. Right now it only supports the enablement of the SE050 secure element.

Thanks for your answer.

I hope there will be an option to deactivate it soon.
