# Legacy FIDO2 authentication methods

PingID supports the use of the FIDO2, FIDO2 biometrics, and FIDO2 security keys for authentication.

This section describes configuration for legacy FIDO2 biometrics and FIDO2 security key authentication methods.

The FIDO2 authentication method replaces the deprecated FIDO biometrics and security key authentication methods and offers expanded configuration options and support for a wide range of FIDO authentication devices, including cloud-synced FIDO devices. Learn more about FIDO2 [here](pid_configuring_fido2_authentication_method.html).
