The pairing information will be saved on both sides, the AirID FIDO and your client. Therefore this pairing process only needs to be done once per host device to get started.

*The AirID FIDO may differ in handling depending on your intended use case. For reference please check the specifics about your supported operating system here.


UI Step

Register and name your AirID FIDO in your desired Application

Before you can log into your desired applications with the AirID FIDO security key, you have to register your AirID FIDO once in the application.

For registration, most applications provide a text field to set a name for your FIDO security key. This field is completely free of choice and is intended to help you identify the key used later on. In order to confirm and complete the registration, the AirID FIDO asks you to push a button on the AirID FIDO.
