For devices that don’t contain a built-in biometric sensor, USB-based FIDO security keys such as the YubiKey by Yubico can bridge the gap. It also guarantees user presence at the point of authentication and helps organizations future proof their investments in modern secure endpoints.Īll that's needed to enable Webauthn is a supported web browser, operating system and a strong, built-in biometric authenticator like TouchID to enable a secure, phishproof two-factor authentication method. With WebAuthn, organizations can offer their users the most convenient authentication method available (their own fingerprint).
This means users can securely log into their accounts with the built-in TouchID fingerprint reader on MacOS laptops.Ĭreated by the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance and W3C, the WebAuthn is a specification that enables strong, public key cryptography registration and authentication. Universal 2nd Factor ( U2F) is an open standard that strengthens and simplifies two-factor authentication (2FA) using specialized Universal Serial Bus (USB) or near-field communication (NFC) devices based on similar security technology found in smart cards.
WebAuthn (Web Authentication API) is an open standard that allows third parties like Duo to tap into built-in biometric authenticators on laptops and smartphones. Leading organizations around the world have deployed FIDO authentication to their employees and users, reducing their security risks and improving user experience.
