CLUSTER FIDO2-SECURITY-AUTHENTICATION · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-07-20
FIDO2 mobile authenticator apps
This cluster consists of mobile authenticator apps that enable FIDO2 and FIDO UAF passwordless authentication using hardware security keys (via USB, NFC, or Bluetooth) on smartphones. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only 4 entries before the index start, so the cluster appears to predate the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are Passchain, Authnkey, and excelsecu authenticator, each with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
