Almost two years ago, Apple, Google, and even Microsoft embarked on the journey to create a passwordless future for all, thus, dismissing the need for passwords and making authentication more secure. At present, these three tech giants have taken further steps in this endeavor by announcing plans for a passwordless sign-up process standard for all devices. Here are the details to know.
Google has now announced that it will soon bring passwordless sign-ins created by FIDO Alliance to Android and Chrome users. This is expected to start happening by the end of this year. Apple and Microsoft will also join Google in bringing this standard to their respective platforms.
To recall, while various tech companies already support the FIDO standard for passwordless logins, it earlier required users to sign in to the website or the app before going passwordless. Now, this won’t be the case.
