How to test

To ensure a successful test of the authenticator, please follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the authenticator that you wish to test. It is recommended to use it only for this test to avoid any conflicts. If necessary, delete the passkey and reset the authenticator's settings (e.g., disable PIN, unregister fingerprint).
    1. it may be a hardware authenticator, such as a YubiKey
    2. it may be an operating system authenticator, such as Touch ID or Windows Hello
    3. it may be a software authenticator, such as tpm-fido
    4. it may be a password manager with passkey support, such as Dashlane
  2. Fill details about the authenticator into the table below (vendor, model, OS, browser)
