Keep in mind that the ID Austria system (the one that has a FIDO2 option as
an alternative to the proprietary smartphone app) is essentially only for
government agencies. Only few private companies (such as the former public
monopoly postal service (Post)) support it. Banks have their own
authentication methods for online banking, typically a bank-specific
proprietary smartphone app.
