Thereafter, they can signup and authenticate to any dapp running on the Internet Computer using any of the devices they have assigned to their anchor.” in the documentation for internet identity.

Thank you. Can this be used for a mobile app too or just web applications? Also, is this the example app from DFinity or is there another one? Integrating with Internet Identity | Internet Computer Home

I have no idea how to do it, but I see no reason why not.

That’s the best official explanation, but I’m sure there’s more complete examples somewhere on Github
