FIDO2 is the overarching term for FIDO Alliance’s newest set of strong authentication standards. FIDO2 includes two specifications: W3C’s Web Authentication (WebAuthn) and FIDO Alliance’s Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP).FIDO2 standards enable users to leverage common devices to easily authenticate to online services in both mobile and desktop environments, and with much higher security over passwords and SMS OTPs.
