Product Information
- Description
- The FIDO Authenticator is an open hardware implementation of the FIDO2 CTAP 2.2 protocol, providing a physical security key for passwordless authentication. It enables users to securely log into websites and applications using public key cryptography instead of traditional passwords, eliminating phishing risks and credential theft. Key features include support for WebAuthn standards, resident key storage for passwordless logins, and user verification through PIN or biometric methods. This hardware token connects via USB and generates unique cryptographic credentials for each service, ensuring that authentication data never leaves the device.
