As per the agreement, the two companies made available FIDO Ready products with the Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) protocol.
The FIDO UAF specification is defined by the FIDO Alliance as delivering a passwordless experience, where a user is able to use a form of biometric authentication on their local device, like voice, fingerprint or facial recognition to securely log in and perform a transaction. Once a user is registered, they simply repeat the local authentication action whenever they need to authenticate to a specific service, without the need to enter a password. FIDO UAF also allows for multi-factor authentication, where multiple authentication methods, such as a voiceprint and finger swipe, are used together to increase security.
