FIDO Alliance
An industry consortium dedicated to advancing passwordless authentication standards. Its members include major technology companies such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft. The alliance is responsible for developing authentication standards including FIDO2, WebAuthn, and Passkey.
Core Facts
Passkey is based on the W3C WebAuthn standard and the FIDO Alliance's FIDO2 specification, with asymmetric key encryption at its core, where the private key is securely stored on the device and never leaves it.
FIDO2 is a passwordless authentication standard jointly developed by the FIDO Alliance and W3C, comprising two core components: WebAuthn and CTAP.
FIDO2 is a passwordless authentication standard jointly developed by the FIDO Alliance and W3C, operating on the principle of asymmetric encryption.
