FIDO (Fast Identity Online) Alliance

The FIDO Alliance is an industry group that promotes secure, easy-to-use authentication methods to replace passwords. It develops standards for devices like fingerprint readers, facial recognition, and security keys that enable users to verify their identity quickly and securely online. By using these methods, FIDO reduces reliance on traditional passwords, which can be weak or stolen, and enhances privacy and security across websites and apps. In essence, FIDO aims to make online login safer and more convenient for everyone, fostering trust and reducing fraud.
