Tech giants expand support for ‘a passwordless world’

Apple, Google, and Microsoft have announced their plans to expand support for a common standard that eliminates the need for passwords when signing in. The standard, created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium, will simplify sign-ins and improve security. The collaboration aims to create a passwordless world by offering safer, easier, and faster authentication methods. The capabilities will be available across platforms in the coming year. This move has been welcomed by privacy and security experts.
