    What is FIDO authentication?

    • FIDO2 Web Authentication (WebAuthn) is a standard web API that is incorporated into web browsers and related web platform infrastructures.

    • WebAuthnIt securely authenticates users on the web across various sites and devices by providing them with MFA factors enabled and configured specifically for WebAuthn.

    • Examples of WebAuthn include TouchID on Macintosh computers and iPhone, FaceID on iPhone, Windows Hello, Android fingerprint or PIN, or other device-bound authenticators.

    How do I set up FIDO authentication? (not available for customers using our free plan)

    1. To register an authenticator, you need to log in into the platform.

    2. Click on your profile image in the top right corner, and select My Settings. 

    3. Under 'Security' section on the left, you will see a FIDO2 Authenticators section.

    4. You can click on Add Authenticator and follow your browser instructions. (The name is only for recognizing your authenticators).
