CYBERSECURITY & INNOVATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE
Value added distribution
In a joint effort to make the web more secure and usable for all, Apple, Google and Microsoft at the beggining of May announced plans to expand support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium.
The new capability will allow websites and apps to offer consistent, secure, and easy passwordless sign-ins to consumers across devices and platforms.
There will be two new options for users to log in more smoothly and securely without a password:
1. Allow users to automatically access their FIDO sign-in credentials (referred to by some as a “passkey”) on many of their devices, even new ones, without having to re-enroll every account;
2. Enable users to use FIDO authentication on their mobile device to sign in to an app or website on a nearby device, regardless of the OS platform or browser they are running.
Microsoft and Yubiko customers can use the passwordless system even now.
