FIDO standards adoption by companies for workforce authentications worldwide 2023

Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) is an open standard for passwordless authentication that allows users to sign and access their resources without a username or password by using an external security key or a platform key built into a device. In 2023, nearly half of respondents among IT professionals worldwide had adopted the FIDO2 standards, which incorporate a user-controlled cryptographic authenticator with W3C Web Authentication (WebAuthn) to enable built-in multi-factor authentication without the need to rely on traditional passwords.
