FIDO Security Key UX Guidelines

The FIDO Security Key UX Guidelines are a set of best practices to help online service providers design a better, more consistent user experience for the consumer security key audience and ultimately maximize adoption. The document provides UX guidelines for all major steps of a consumer’s journey with FIDO security keys: awareness; consideration; enrollment; management; and authentication.

Desktop Authenticator UX Guidelines

The FIDO Desktop Authenticator UX Guidelines are a set of best practices to help service providers encourage their customers to log in with FIDO-based platform authenticators in desktop environments. These guidelines aim to accelerate decision-making during FIDO implementation and specify what information and controls should be given to users through their journey, from FIDO awareness to registration and subsequent logins.
