CardOS FIDO2

Eviden is offering CardOS FIDO2 to enable users to login to their applications and services with much higher security. In this way organizations can introduce 2-factor-authentication with CardOS FIDO2, meaning the combination of something you have (a CardOS smart card) with something you know (a secret, the smart card PIN) for secure authentication purposes.

Using CardOS FIDO2 Authenticator offers the great advantage of using one Authenticator for multiple logins to different applications,  while only one PIN is required to enable access to the authenticator.
