QuickStart Guide
FIDO is an evolution of user authentication for online access. It is also known as passwordless authentication. FIDO is an open standard
that was developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium. FIDO is a lightweight approach to asymmetric public-key
cryptography that extends the security benefits of public-key cryptography to a wider array of applications, domains, and devices. FIDO is
designed to reduce (or remove) password usage,
to
avoid the sharing of secrets, and
to
create a path toward using a single credential for
authenticating to multiple service providers such as websites and mobile services.
FortiToken-
400
FortiToken 400 is our all-in-one USB security key that can be used for multi-factor
authentication (MFA) or passwordless login when using online services, device
login (such as FortiGate), or network (such as VPN/ZTNA). FortiToken 400
supports FIDO U2F
and
FIDO2 protocols. It reduces reliance on passwords while
increasing security and protecting user privacy
.
FIDO2 eliminates passwords
entirely. During the authentication process, you will see the blinking green LED on
your security key, simply enter your PIN associated with the key and press the
button to sign in.
