World Password Day highlights the transition toward a passwordless future driven by the FIDO Alliance and major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. This new approach replaces traditional user ID and password combinations with a streamlined dropdown of personalized credentials. The aim is to combat the ongoing threat of phishing and other malicious attacks by eliminating the need for passwords altogether. As the tech industry invests in this evolution, it seeks to enhance user security while simplifying access to applications and websites.
"The tech industry has been quietly making adjustments to operating systems and web browsers to enable this highly automated passwordless future."
"If there aren't passwords to supply to legitimate websites and apps, the FIDO Alliance figures there won't be passwords to give to the malicious actors either."
