FIDO2 / WebAuthn for Workforce Identity Management

Developed by the FIDO alliance, FIDO2 / WebAuthn is a security standard that allows employees to log-in to company accounts using methods like biometrics (fingerprint or face recognition) or physical security keys (like USB devices) instead of traditional passwords.

FIDO2 / WebAuthn is often considered more secure for workforces because it reduces the risk of phishing and password theft.

SecureAuth & The FIDO Alliance

SecureAuth is proud to be a FIDO alliance member as well as having our product platform FIDO2 certified.

The FIDO Alliance has more than 250 company members, including Aetna, Amazon, Bank of America, Google, Samsung, and Visa.

Before FIDO, implementing authentication beyond a password meant companies have been faced with implementing a range of proprietary tools and protocols. FIDO changed this by standardizing the client and protocol layers. Adopting the FIDO standard opens your organization up to a thriving ecosystem of client authentication methods such as biometrics, PINs and second factors that can be used with a variety of online services in an interoperable manner.

Security

FIDO2 cryptographic login credentials are unique across every website, never leave a worker’s device and are never stored on a server. This security model eliminates the risks of phishing, all forms of password theft and replay attacks.

Convenience

Employees unlock cryptographic login credentials with simple built-in methods such as fingerprint readers or cameras on their devices, or by leveraging easy-to-use FIDO security keys.
