Apple, Google and Microsoft will implement passwordless authorization in 2023

“As part of a joint effort to improve the security and usability of the Internet, Apple, Google and Microsoft announce that they support the implementation of a single passwordless authentication standard developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium. The new mechanism will allow sites and applications to use a reliable, secure and easy password-free login on any user device and platform.the companies said in a joint statement.

Password-free authorization will be performed by verifying a fingerprint, face scan or entering a PIN code. The document emphasizes that password use is one of the key security threats on the Internet. In addition, users tend to use the same password combinations on different services, since the use of many different codes burdens everyday life. As a result, there is a threat of loss of access to the account, data leakage and even theft of personal information. The introduction of a special access key (passkey) will allow users to access their accounts from any type of device.

“Apple, Google, Microsoft are already using FIDO Alliance technologies for passwordless login on billions of devices. However, before the user had to go through the authorization procedure on each site or application from each personal gadget. Our new development will make logging in without a password more convenient and secure.”the companies said in a joint statement.
