FIDO certified devices offer better security and a greatly improved user experience over traditional software-and-hardware based authentication technologies.”įIDO Alliance members commit to share technology and collaborate to deliver open specifications for universal strong authentication that enables FIDO-compliant authentication methods to be interoperable, more secure and private, and easier-to-use. “We are pleased to see an ever-increasing number of large online services and financial institutions joining the FIDO Alliance and addressing the issues. “Historically, strong two factor hardware authentication has been too costly and complicated to scale for mass markets,” said Stina Ehrensvard, CEO and founder of Yubico. Among the world’s leading financial institutions, Bank of America is committing to FIDO standards for strong authentication, along with other leaders in the financial sector, including Discover Financial Services, MasterCard and Goldman Sachs.
