FIDO is a new technology that lets you sign in to any website that supports it -- securely and without relying on a password. FIDO is what’s called a 'standard.' Like WiFi, or Bluetooth. It works on any web browser and on devices we use every day, including your smartphone, desktop or laptop computer, pad, or smartwatch.

When a website or app is powered with FIDO, you use your everyday device to log in with a simple action. You can use biometrics on your PC or smartphone, like a face scan or a fingerprint reader. Or you can use a security key or PIN number. Then you’re good to go! When you browse your way to any website that supports FIDO technology, you simply log in with that easy action. You’re logged in ... without a password!

FIDO is a very secure way to log in, because none of your login information is being transmitted over the internet.

The secret is something called public key cryptography, technology keeps login information securely on your device. Nowhere else. The website knows for sure that it is YOU logging in, not a cybercriminal, and only to the correct website. Think of it as a virtual lock and key. A FIDO-secured website has a special lock; your device has the special key that unlocks it.

FIDO is a form of two-factor or multi-factor authentication, but way easier. You don’t have to enter a little code from one device to another.

Today, the FIDO Alliance announced that, with the upcoming release of Windows 10, version 1903, Windows Hello is a FIDO2 Certified authenticator. FIDO2 enables developers to leverage standards-based protocols and devices to provide users easy authentication to online services—in both mobile and desktop environments. On 1Password.com, click Next. Enter the six-digit authentication code, then click Confirm. Your 1Password account is now protected by two-factor authentication. To continue using your account on other devices or to sign in to it on a new device, you’ll need to enter a six-digit authentication code from your authenticator app. By submitting this form, you are consenting to receive communications from: FIDO Alliance, 3855 SW 153rd Drive, Beaverton, OR 97003, US, http://www.fidoalliance.org.

FIDO is a security standard that major device manufacturers have adopted which allows the same security technology to be built into all devices. Users can now securely login to your website without relying on a password. 1Password, ID Guard Offline, and KeePassX are probably your best bets out of the 5 options considered. 'Cloud & Wi-Fi sync' is the primary reason people pick 1Password over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision.

Support for FIDO is widespread and growing fast. If you’re wondering if your device or service uses FIDO, look for the FIDO marks or the phrase 'powered by FIDO'. When in doubt, ask your service providers and tell them you’d like them to support FIDO logins.

FIDO standards come from an organization called the FIDO Alliance, a non-profit industry association. The FIDO Alliance’s sole mission is to reduce the world’s reliance on passwords with simpler, stronger authentication. FIDO Alliance’s 250+ members include many of the technology, financial services and e-commerce brands you know and trust. Visit fidoalliance.org for more information.

Apple has released iOS 13.3 for iPhone, with the long-awaited support for USB, NFC, and Lightning FIDO2-compliant security keys in Safari browser.
While FIDO2 is a WebAuthN browser API standard, along with the FIDO CTAP (Client to Authenticator Protocol), which builds on FIDO alliance for Universal Two Factor (U2F) authentication standard. WebAuthn is the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) approved web authentication standard adopted by many tech industry leaders, whose API allows strong browser-to-hardware-based authentication for devices using security keys, NFC, and authenticators like TouchId.
The ability to use security keys with Safari browser is perhaps the biggest addition to iOS devices, which formerly, security keys weren’t supported on Apple’s Safari browser, except for third-party apps like 1Password. Now, the new OS makes the use of security keys such as 5Ci YubiKey possible.
Security keys represents the next level of online security, which is rather a move away from passwords that requires you to authenticate with two or more factors in a more robust way. It is easy to use and amply protects against advanced phishing attacks, whereby the hackers attempt to break into your account by having you enter your details on cloned website's log-in page.
The YubiKey 5Ci is perhaps the first iPhone compatible security key to feature USB-C with lightning connectors on a key, which makes it the best available option at the moment.
Apple's iOS 13.3 also brings other cool new features, such as improvements to the Screen Time parental controls feature, which allows you to set how your kids call, text or FaceTime, and even manage contacts with time-specific limits.
There are still some other smaller improvements with iOS 13.3, including the ability to create new videos from trimming clips in Photos, and also Apple News fresh layouts for News+ stories from sources like the Wall Street Journal and other leading newspapers, allowing you to like or dislike stories easily.
