Cryptnox FIDO2 devices work natively out of the box with Android and iOS, with no management app required. They can be initialized and used directly through supported operating systems and browsers. When used with a compatible smartcard reader, they work fully on Windows, on macOS depending on website FIDO2 implementation, and on Linux via the HID bridge middleware (see Linux HID bridge in the Software for Fido Products section).
The Cryptnox FIDO2 Management App (iOS only) is intended exclusively for advanced configuration and technical administration. Only download it if you have specific technical requirements — it is not needed for normal use.
For the use of a Cryptnox FIDO2 SmartCard as a security key for Apple ID, you will need a minimum of two cards. Specific instructions for iPhone can be found on the official Apple documentation here.
If you intend to use a FIDO2 device with your Android device, check out the latest updates on compatibility:
No setup required: Cryptnox FIDO2 products are ready to use out of the box with all major operating systems and browsers that support FIDO2 and WebAuthn. No application or driver installation required.
Important Notice: The Cryptnox FIDO2 management app is designed only for advanced users who need to access additional configuration options. You don’t need to download this app to initialize or use the card for standard use.
For everyday use: Simply plug in or tap your card on a compatible device and follow the corresponding instructions — this app is not needed.
