# Preparing Advanced Identity Cloud or PingAM for FIDO in JavaScript

Before enabling FIDO authentication in your JavaScript apps you must configure your authentication journeys for FIDO.

## Configuring authentication journeys for FIDO on JavaScript

Authentication journeys for FIDO primarily use these nodes:

* WebAuthn Registration Node

  Handles the creation and storage of new passkeys.

* WebAuthn Authentication Node

  Manages the sign-in process by issuing and verifying challenges.

Learn more about creating authentication journeys for FIDO in [Journeys for WebAuthn](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingoneaic/latest/am-authentication/authn-mfa-webauthn.html#authn-mfa-web-authn).

To prepare your authentication journeys to use FIDO with a JavaScript application, you need to configure each **WebAuthn Registration node** and **WebAuthn Authentication node** in your authentication journey to work with your JavaScript app.

| - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | You must use the same configuration values in each **WebAuthn Registration node** and **WebAuthn Authentication node** in the journey.Any mismatches in configuration between these nodes will cause authentication to fail. |

* Each WebAuthn Registration node and WebAuthn Authentication node

  1. In Origin domains, enter the URL where you host your JavaScript app.

     For example, `https://app.example.com`.

     |   |                                                                                                           |
     | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | If you leave Origin domains empty, the server uses the origin of incoming requests as an accepted origin. |

* Each WebAuthn Registration node

  1. In Accepted signing algorithms, include one or more of `ES256` and `RS256`.

  2. Ensure the Limit registrations option is **not enabled**.
