New features

Fido

The newly added Fido API allows using U2F and Fido devices via USB or NFC with supported Browsers (Chromium and Firefox) and to sign into your Google Account in microG. Additionally, on supported hardware and when a PIN/password is configured, the secure key storage can be used as a virtual Fido device. Note that some devices are still not fully supported.

Due to lack of open-source client library, open-source variants of browsers (Bromite, Fennec, etc) currently do not support this API. This release also provides an open-source play-services-fido library, which open-source browsers can use instead of the proprietary Google version to add support for microG's Fido API.
