And as most people carry a smartphone always and everywhere, it’s an interesting approach which I tested, and for certain circumstances works very well!

IDmelon provides a mobile application, which turns our smartphone into a FIDO security key. IDmelon has a different approach from most other FIDO security key vendors. The solution is recently tested solves this ‘issue’, it’s from IDmelon. Then I still use my password combined with Authenticator notification, as my phone is always near me. So most of the time when I need a FIDO key, I have one with me.īut to be honest, I’m sometimes too lazy to grab my FIDO key from the other side of the room, when I’m sitting on the couch. And a key is laying around in the living room to use when I’m working downstairs. I have one in my laptop bag if I go to my employee’s office. I have one connected to my docking station in my home office for daily usage.

The used keys are from different vendors like Authentrend, Feitian, and Yubico. I have been using several different FIDO2 security keys in the past year to passwordless sign-in to my Azure AD accounts.
