ACS Launches PocketKey+ Bio — FIDO® Certified USB Security Key with Built-In Fingerprint Recognition
July 8, 2026
Hong Kong, 8 July 2026 — Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS), a global leader in identification and payment technologies, today announced the launch of the PocketKey+ Bio, a next-generation FIDO® certified security key featuring a built-in fingerprint sensor and dual USB Type-C and NFC connectivity.
As phishing scams and password leaks become increasingly sophisticated, physical device-based identity verification has become essential. The PocketKey+ Bio delivers secure, phishing-resistant passwordless authentication for both enterprise and individual users.
The device is compliant with FIDO U2F and FIDO2 (CTAP2.1) standards and is officially certified by the FIDO® Alliance. It supports registration of up to 10 fingerprints and can store up to 100 resident credentials (passkeys), enabling seamless multi-account access across services.
Built with hardware-based ECC P-256 encryption and an EAL6+ certified cryptographic security architecture, PocketKey+ Bio generates and securely stores a unique key pair for each registered service to enhance privacy and prevent cross-site tracking. Meanwhile, it offers broad compatibility across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and seamless operation with major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox.
The solution is well-suited for enterprise authentication frameworks and high-security environments, including financial services, government agencies, healthcare institutions, and insurance providers—where robust identity verification and regulatory compliance are essential.
PocketKey+ Bio makes secure access with a single touch. With its launch, ACS continues to lead the way in authentication technology that combines strong security with everyday ease of use.
