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.
