Emerging Trends in IAM Part 4: Going Passwordless with the FIDO Use Case
An emerging trend that many organizations are moving toward in 2023 and beyond is the elimination of passwords and migration toward passwordless authentication. Moving away from passwords to different authentication methods such as something a user has (i.e., smart card) or something a user is (i.e., biometrics) can be a great way to not only increase security across the enterprise but improve the user’s experience. Common password-based attacks, such as man in the middle, brute force or credential stuffing can all be more effectively protected against using correctly implemented passwordless capabilities.
