Hey everyone, i just found something weird in my Mac OS settings which didn't make sense at all..
Using Mac OS 11.2.1 and today found this app called SmartCard Pairing in my notifications settings. I've searched the drive for any references but there's no such app or service in Mac OS with this name and icon. Have anyone seen this?

it appears to relate to some sort of logging into secure websites or networks.

not until i saw your question and checked my machine. it's in my notifications settings too. it also appears to have the same selections as yours. since it's on my machine too (and i didn't put it there) i'm guessing you can disregard it. i haven't received any notifications in the past that would apply to it.
Smart Card Pairing allows you to use a Smart Card to login to your Mac, and perform admin authentication with the Smart Card.
What is SmartCard Pairing???
