FIDO certification measures the compliance of products against FIDO specifications and globally recognized security and performance standards. Certification helps ensure that standards are met and that security and interoperability requirements are upheld worldwide. This benefits vendors, deploying organizations, and end users.
The FIDO Certification section contains various programs and resources you can use when seeking certification as well as after a product achieves certification.
Those interested in purchasing FIDO Certified products should start by searching the FIDO® Certified Products Directory.
Vendors interested in certifying products should start by referring to the following chart to identify the appropriate certification program. Please note that each certification program has unique processes and requirements that must be met before certification can be issued.
