FIDO2/Passkeys Demo
Discover the future of secure and user-friendly authentication with our FIDO2 & Passkeys demo. Explore both platform and roaming authentication methods, making online security more convenient and versatile than ever.Whether you're a customer of ours or a curious user, this demo provides a hands-on experience of the power of FIDO2 and Passkeys based on WebAuthN technology.WebAuthn is a JavaScript browser API, empowering websites to generate and employ WebAuthn credentials. This API provides websites with the capability to utilize the inherent client authenticator technology within browsers and/or operating systems (such as Windows Hello) and physical security keys.

About Passkeys
Any passwordless FIDO credential is a passkey. Passkeys are a password replacement that provide faster, easier, and more secure sign-ins to websites and apps. In this context, passkey is usually an umbrella term for both physical FIDO2 keys and built-in authenticators.
A test credential (starting with token2_user) will be created for this demo on your security key's memory. Make sure you remove this credential after completing the tests.
You can choose whether you are testing a physical key (i.e., a USB FIDO2 Security key) or the authenticator built-in to your operating system/computer. Built-in or platform authenticators are ones that are integrated with a device (your laptop, smartphone, or tablet) and capable of capturing an authentication factor.
FIDO2 is created by the FIDO Alliance. The FIDO Alliance, established in 2011, is a global consortium comprising hundreds of organizations dedicated to enhancing online security. Over the years, it has introduced a range of significant specifications that have reached billions of users. Token2 is a member of the FIDO Alliance.
