FIDO Alliance has announced that Android is now FIDO2 Certified. This support is available on devices running Android 7.0 or newer and will be enabled automatically through a Google Play Services update.
A FIDO2 certification allows devices to authenticate compatible apps or websites using the security system built into the phone instead of using less reliable and secure username and password systems that can be hacked or phished. A FIDO2 device can authenticate within a compatible or website using the fingerprint sensor or facial recognition system built into their device.
