What it is
Fido is a set of open technical specifications for mechanisms of authenticating users to online services that do not depend on passwords.
The UAF protocol is designed to enable online services to offer passwordless and multi-factor security by allowing users to register their device to the online service and using a local authentication mechanism such as iris or fingerprint recognition.
The UAF Authenticator-Specific Module (ASM) is a software interface on top of UAF authenticators which gives a standardized way for FIDO UAF clients to detect and access the functionality of UAF authenticators and hides internal communication complexity from FIDO UAF Client.
Safe to remove if you don't use password-less authentication to access online services.
Commands
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.fido.uaf.asm
To put it back:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.sec.android.fido.uaf.asm
Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
