SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — SecuGen Corporation, a leading provider of fingerprint recognition technology, today announced that the FIDO Alliance has certified SecuGen\u2019s Unity™ 20 FIDO2 fingerprint security key. The key is FIDO\u00ae Certified for FIDO2 at Authenticator Security Assurance Level 1. It creates and stores passkeys for passwordless, phishing-resistant sign-in to compatible websites and applications.<\/p>\n

When the Unity 20 FIDO2 is used to sign in with a passkey, it requires the user to match their fingerprint with a fingerprint registered on the key. Fingerprint matching and handling happen only inside the key, which means fingerprint data neither leaves the key nor gets sent to the computer, to websites, or to the cloud.<\/p>\n

The key is built on SecuGen’s flagship U20-ASF fingerprint platform and its U20-A optical sensor used in the company’s top-of-the-line readers, which are FBI certified for U.S. federal identity verification (PIV) programs and are deployed in national identity programs in other countries. The hardened glass platen resists scratches, impact, corrosion, and electrostatic shock. Smart Capture™ technology helps the sensor match dry, moist, aged, and scarred fingers, even in bright light.<\/p>\n

\u201cA touch merely tells a security key that someone is present. But a fingerprint match tells that someone is verified,\u201d said Won Lee, CEO at SecuGen Corporation. \u201cWe built the Unity 20 FIDO2 with the same optical sensor as our highest-quality fingerprint readers. FIDO certification gives our partners independent confirmation that the key meets FIDO security requirements and works with FIDO2 websites and identity platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur reseller partners told us they needed a FIDO2 security key as more websites and identity platforms accept passkeys,\u201d said Dan Riley, Vice President of Engineering at SecuGen. \u201cThe Unity 20 FIDO2 completed the conformance and interoperability tests required for certification.\u201d<\/p>\n
