Keyless joins the FIDO Alliance to help accelerate the Alliance’s mission to end over-reliance on passwords with its privacy-first biometric authentication solutions The FIDO Alliance is a cross-industry coalition developing open, interoperable authentication standards that reduce reliance on passwords.
The alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication technologies and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords.

“We are excited to welcome our newest associate member Keyless. The FIDO vision of universal strong authentication promises better security, enhanced privacy, more commerce, and expansion of services throughout digital industries.
