Passwords as authenticators pose one of the greatest threats to cybersecurity today. In fact, they’re the root cause of over 80% of data breaches. User-generated passwords tend to be weak and predictable. OTPs, too, run the risk of being intercepted. Realistically, no password on its own is truly secure.
A meeting of strong minds
What is FIDO2? Short for ‘Fast IDentity Online’, FIDO has been the industry’s answer to the world’s over-reliance on passwords since 2013. The updated standard, FIDO2, meets the highest level of assurance, addressing several authentication use cases in the process, including:
- Authentication using roaming or platform authenticators
- Single-factor passwordless login
- Multi-factor passwordless login with biometrics
- Delegated authentication
- Digital registration and identity recovery
