With all three tech giants on board, we can expect passwordless FIDO sign-in across macOS and Safari Android and Chrome and Windows and Edge.
Users will sign in through the same action that they take multiple times each day to unlock their devices, such as a simple verification of their fingerprint or face, or a device PIN. The expanded standards-based capabilities will give websites and apps the ability to offer an end-to-end passwordless option. On May 5, 2022, Google announced it will implement passwordless support in Android and Chrome, and Apple announced its supportfor new authentication capabilities enabled by the adoption of FIDO's latest standard.
Last year, Microsoft announced that as of Septemyou can completely remove the password from your Microsoft account and use the Microsoft Authenticator app, Windows Hello, a security key, or a verification code sent to your phone or email to sign in to Microsoft apps and services. The new capability will allow websites and apps to offer consistent, secure, and easy passwordless sign-ins to consumers across devices and platforms. In a joint effort to make the web more secure and usable for all, Apple, Google and Microsoft today announced plans to expand support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium. The trio of tech giants all used World Password Day to declare increased support for FIDO Alliance standards like FIDO2, a globally-recognized standard for passwordless authentication. Now Apple, Google and Microsoft have announcedthat you don't have to. Which begs the question: If passwords are such a problem, why use them at all? In practice, in the last few years this has meant pairing passwords with something else, such as a one-time code from an app or an SMS message, in a scheme called two-factor authentication ( 2FA).īut while pairing passwords with a second factor is much better than using a password by itself, it is just a way of working around some very serious, inherent flaws in password authentication. While we recently " celebrated" World Password Day, almost every security outlet keeps telling us that passwords alone are not enough.
