NEOWAVE Winkeo2-C FIDO2 – USB-C Hardware Security Key
The NEOWAVE Winkeo2-C FIDO2 is a compact USB-C hardware security key designed for strong user authentication on computers, tablets, and smartphones. It supports the FIDO2 (CTAP 2.0) and FIDO U2F standards, allowing it to be used for both passwordless login and as a second factor in 2FA/MFA authentication.
The device provides protection against phishing and password compromise. Authentication data is generated, managed, and stored within a secure smart card component. The private key never leaves the device, reducing the risk of compromise. The Winkeo2-C FIDO2 uses a smart card chip certified according to the Common Criteria EAL5+ standard and is certified by the French ANSSI Security Visa.
The key works with, among others, with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, Evidian, and Ilex, as well as with over 250 web services that support FIDO2 or U2F, including Gmail, PayPal, OVH, WordPress, and Dropbox.
Software Required for Operation
For basic use of the NEOWAVE Winkeo2-C FIDO2, installing dedicated software or drivers is not required.
The device operates as a USB HID.
Additional NEOWAVE driver: not required.
Dedicated NEOWAVE app for basic FIDO2 functionality: not required.
A system, browser, or app that supports FIDO2/WebAuthn or FIDO U2F is required.
When deploying in a corporate environment, the administrator must configure FIDO2 support in the appropriate IAM platform, such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta.
NEOWAVE OTP Manager is not required for this model, as the Winkeo2-C FIDO2 is not a FIDO2 + OTP variant.
