    Basically, yes. IIRC the FIDO/U2F handling is implemented in google libs.

    They are however re-implemented in microG: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status, so if you are open to using that it should work with apps using the corresponding google client libraries.

    I have used Firefox on Lineage/microG and tested FIDO2 there, it does NOT work with Fennec as that does not include the required client side libraries.
