View Whitelist

This represents one of the Thales's proprietary features, allowing users to include specific websites in a Whitelist. These whitelisted websites will exclusively participate in the authentication process. Blank Whitelist will include all the websites.

This functionality is exclusive to the managed Thales FIDO Keys.
