Android natively supports FIDO2 security keys over NFC, but its implementation can cause compatibility issues with some authenticators due to its use of extended APDU commands. Android also provides no native way to manage a security key's PIN or the passkeys stored on it. SafeKey FIDO Bridge addresses these limitations by communicating directly with the security key using standard APDU commands, avoiding the extended APDU compatibility issues in Android's native implementation.
