Web Authentication (WebAuthn)

October 29, 2020

WebAuthn enables online services to use FIDO Authentication through a standard web API that can be built into browsers and related web platform infrastructure. It is a collaborative effort based on specifications initially submitted by FIDO Alliance to the W3C and then iterated and finalized by the broader FIDO and W3C communities. WebAuthn was designated an official web standard in March 2019. It is currently supported in Windows 10 and Android platforms, and Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari web browsers.
