Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

The browser extension enables a credential management system to connect with a device (such as a smart card or USB key) via the browser. It provides the capability to provision credentials such as digital certificates into these devices, and to perform updates to the devices after the initial provisioning.

This extension is compatible with WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager and with other applications based on HID’s credential management solution.

If you use the ActivID Credential Management System, please use this extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/activid-cms-extension/ddfoinleihmgpkhfmemkncgffilfahnm.

doesnt work AND isnt up to date

Melvin Antonio Guerrero Morán2026年3月30日

Extension haven't been updated since 3 years ago.

William Burdge2026年3月5日

Required for CaC use, but doesn't work, so CaC use doesn't work wherever ActivClient is required, which doesn't work.

eric alderette2025年7月3日

This process could not be any less clear, user friendly, less helpful, less intuitive. Classic DoD government supported IT. "Please log in to log out" vibes. Listing 3 requirements, knowing full well they are AVERAGING 1 star ratings for a reason.

Soren Bardin2025年6月24日

I'm being told I need version 7.4.1.5 but that doesn't even exist

Nicholas Azzolini2025年5月4日

Not clear how to proceed. Instructions are not easily understood.

Rob N2025年1月29日

Please read the requirements on the ID Card Office Online. This extension is one part of two requirements to access the functions offered. Active Client Agent is the second required software needed.

Jon Feiser2024年10月4日

Doest now work. I ran diagnostics and it is my laptop but still not working.

Lawrence Biacan2024年3月22日

I wasted so much time on installing this extension and IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. PERIOD.

Native messaging bridge between HID credential management web portals and local smart card/USB key hardware devices

Enables browser-based credential management systems to communicate with local hardware security devices (smart cards, USB keys) that cannot be directly accessed from web pages, allowing credential provisioning and device updates through the browser

User navigates to an HID credential management web portal → the content script activates and detects HID_CARD_CHANNEL_REQUEST elements on the page → the content script connects to the background service worker → the service worker establishes a native messaging connection to the locally installed HID client application → the web portal can send credential provisioning/update commands through this bridge to the physical device → responses flow back through the same chain

Target users: Enterprise IT administrators managing HID smart cards and USB security keys / DoD/military personnel using CAC/PIV credential systems (dmdc.osd.mil domains) / Organizations using WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager or HID CMS

Cannot verify actual destination service authentication requirements since we only have the extension source
Cannot confirm whether the HID native messaging host application is free or requires licensing
The 1M+ user count likely reflects enterprise/DoD deployment requirements rather than organic adoption

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension contains no payment, subscription, licensing, or upgrade UI/code. All 'pro' keyword hits are false positives (from 'process', 'production', URLs containing 'prod'). The extension is a free native messaging bridge. HID's destination services (WorkforceID, CMS) are enterprise products with licensing, but the extension itself does not gate any features behind payment.

Confidence: 80
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension itself has no login UI, but it is a native messaging bridge that only activates on HID credential management web portals (cms-us.hidglobal.com, dcm-us.hidglobal.com, *.dmdc.osd.mil). These are enterprise credential management systems that require authenticated sessions to function. The content script looks for specific DOM elements (HID_CARD_CHANNEL_REQUEST_*) that only appear on authenticated pages.
