# New WebAuthn Authentication 

A new authentication method, WebAuthn, has been added to RapidIdentity in the 2022.2.11 Cloud release.

This new method replaces the legacy FIDO U2F authentication method and opens a plethora of possible authentication devices when used with supporting operating systems and browsers including Microsoft Windows Hello.

WebAuthn is just one of the many authentication methods that can be used on an authentication policy to authenticate with RapidIdentity.
