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.

Traction leaders by activity signal are Passchain, Authnkey, and excelsecu authenticator, each with 0 stars.
