Not FIDO Certified
KeyForge products implement the CTAP2 and U2F protocols and are compatible with WebAuthn-enabled services. However, they are not FIDO Alliance certified devices. This is intentional - features like deterministic key backup are not permitted under FIDO certification requirements.
If you require FIDO-certified hardware for compliance reasons, KeyForge may not be suitable for your use case.
