Signatures for local replica (Internet Identity)

Developers

Hi everyone,

I am playing around with Internet Identity. I am following this great guide:

However there is a slight problem: the author explicitly warns us:
“Signatures from identity.ic0.app won’t be accepted on your local replica.”

Is there any workaround?
Cheers

Because I can’t modify my question (403) I want to add here that I have the Yubikey USB stick so I can create identities.What I don’t know is how to create (at least) one identity which is accepted on local replica.

Thanks

For now, the best thing to do is clone GitHub - dfinity/internet-identity: Internet Identity, the Single Sign On service for the Internet Computer and run it locally. You’ll need to point the login method to the local Internet Identity instance during development under the identityProvider argument when calling AuthClient.login.
