For those of you on the internet – passwords are probably the bane of your existence. Between remembering how many special characters you used to which password goes to which account, this method of authentication is cumbersome – and in a lot of ways – not the most secure. Two passkey experts are joining us today: Andrew Shikiar, Chief Executive Officer of the FIDO Alliance, and Katie Bjork, Director of Communications and Solutions Marketing for HID's IAMS group. Together, we'll answer the question "What is FIDO and how will it shape the future of authentication?"
