Apple, Google, and Microsoft have expanded their support for a passwordless login standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium.
New features will allow websites and apps to offer password-free login alternatives securely and easily across all devices and platforms.
These features are based on standards developed for websites and applications, with an end-to-end password-free login option.
To log in, users will have to do the same things they do every day to unlock their device, such as entering the PIN code. or use a face or fingerprint recognition system.
This new approach will protect against phishing and be much more secure than passwords and multi-factor technologies such as one-time codes sent via SMS.
