What even is FIDO

UI Text Box
typeinfo

FIDO challenges a whole industry.

Instead of having passwords, or password managers for all sorts of 'applications' such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, 1Password, Github, Binance.

Each app gets their own individual security key, stored inside your AirID FIDO.


How can I Backup my AirID FIDO

UI Text Box
typeinfo

FIDO by design is made so that it is not possible to export the stored keys.

Instead a secondary strong authentication is advised.

This can be annother AirID FIDO security key or a certificate based authentication (Smartcard).
