Adds the "Web eID" tab to the browser's DevTools.

Features:

  • Event history between the website, extension and native application.
  • Extension's internal log messages.
  • Option to override extension settings, without needing to compile the extension yourself.
  • Option to allow the http://localhost origin when authenticating and signing

The developer tool is disabled by default and needs to be enabled before it can be used.

Firefox

  1. Open [Menu -> Settings -> Extensions and themes]
    or navigate to the address about:addons
  2. Open the Web eID extension details
  3. Open the "Permissions" tab
  4. Toggle "Extend developer tools to access your data in open tabs"

Chrome

  1. Open [Settings -> Extensions]
    or navigate to the address chrome://extensions/
  2. Open the Web eID extension details
  3. Open "Extension options"
  4. Toggle "Enable developer tools"
