What Is FIDO2 Passwordless Authentication?

FIDO2 is an open standard for authentication hosted by FIDO Alliance, an industry consortium focusing on developing authentication standards to help reduce the world’s over-reliance on passwords. FIDO2 consists of W3C Web Authentication specification (WebAuthn API), and the Client to Authentication Protocol (CTAP). CTAP specifies the interoperation between biometric devices and web browsers – where users can securely login to online services. In lieu of passwords, FIDO2 standard takes advantage of FIDO2 certified hardware devices to ensure secure and effortless authentication.
