After years of support in major browsers and websites, the FIDO 2 protocol has finally become the industry standard. The W3C and FIDO alliance recently announced that the WebAuthentication (WebAuthn) specification has become an official Web standard, which will accelerate the adoption of passwordless login applications. The W3C notes that WebAuthn, the core component of the FIDO 2 specification, is a browser and platform standard that provides an easier and more robust validation process. With this standard, web and app developers can activate FIDO 2 strong authentication for their apps and websites through an API call. Instead of memorizing and entering passwords, users can log in to their accounts using mobile devices, fingerprint identification, or FIDO standard hardware security keys, and avoid the risk of falling into phishing sites.
