From the manufacturer
*Cross-platform compatibility for macOS and ChromeOS is supported via our Tap-and-Go feature. For a complete list of authentication services visit VeriMark support site.
***Tap-and-go combines a username and password with second-factor security key authentication to enable extra security on non FIDO2 services. For services using the older FIDO U2F standard, the user places their finger on the VeriMark Guard for a security token experience (instead of using biometric authentication).
