When your phone is connected, it will appear to your computer as a FIDO2 certified USB Security Key. You can use it just as you would use any other secure, device-bound USB security key, but without the burden of carrying another device and messing with USB ports.

The security of the Allthenticator app is superior to most USB devices because of the phone’s built-in biometrics and other advanced hardware security features.

Moreover, all of your keys are backed up securely with people that you personally trust using our patented Rescue Team technology.

To see why using Allthenticate passkeys is far more secure than storing them in a password manager as a “synced” passkey, check out www.yourpasskeyisweak.com where we detail how these synced passkeys are compromised through a simple phishing attack.
