Use your existing access management system
IDEX biometric cards are managed exactly like other access cards
System and access management
Use your existing access management systems with minimal changes to infrastructure, policies, or administrative workflows – just higher security
Credential management
Manage IDEX biometric cards like standard access cards, using the same user provisioning and credential handling workflows.
FIDO2-compatible services
IDEX cards support FIDO2 for secure, passwordless login across digital services, operating systems, and applications.
See the FIDO Alliance Passkeys Directory for more supported services.

Common questions about compatibility
Yes. IDEX biometric cards can be set up to support physical access, digital access, and visual ID on the same card – all secured by biometric verification.
This allows organisations to reduce the number of credentials users need to carry, while maintaining a consistent and high level of security across doors, systems, and identity use cases.
Yes. IDEX biometric cards support FIDO2, enabling secure, phishing-resistant authentication to operating systems, applications, and digital services that support FIDO standards.
This enables passwordless login while keeping cryptographic keys protected on the card. Support for FIDO2 is broad and continues to grow; for the most up-to-date overview of supported services, organisations can refer to the FIDO Alliance Passkeys Directory.
Yes. IDEX biometric cards support FIDO2, enabling secure, passwordless sign-in to Windows and to applications and services that support FIDO-based authentication.
The card functions as a hardware security key, with authentication confirmed by the user’s fingerprint, replacing passwords or one-time codes where supported.
IDEX biometric cards support leading secure credential technologies used for physical access. An up-to-date overview of supported technologies and ecosystems is provided on this page.
This ensures compatibility information remains current as standards and platforms evolve.
Many organisations operate multiple access technologies across buildings or regions. IDEX biometric cards are designed to support mixed environments, allowing a single biometric card to be used across different systems where supported.
This helps simplify credential management while improving consistency across sites.
Compatibility can be reviewed as part of the configuration and quotation process. Organisations can specify whether they require physical access, digital access, or both, and receive guidance tailored to their environment.
If parts of the physical access environment use older readers, IDEX can assist in assessing compatibility. Where needed, we can help identify suitable reader options that align with your existing systems, security requirements, and deployment plans.
