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.

Secure authentication solutions

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. Keyless’ addition to our Alliance supports our industry goal to make user authentication easier and safer for all parties,” said Andrew Shikiar, FIDO Alliance executive director and CMO.

Keyless combines multi-modal biometrics with zero-trust security to provide fast, frictionless authentication experiences that offer strong adherence to regulations such as GDPR and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), a requirement of Europe’s revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2).

The demand for passwordless solutions is growing exponentially, we look forward to collaborating with Alliance members to help accelerate the adoption of intuitive and secure authentication solutions,” said Andrea Carmignani, Keyless Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder.
