Apple, Google and Microsoft have issued a joint statement that they will support the new standard of authorization on sites and applications without a password, developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium. Face ID, Touch ID, or device PIN will be used instead of traditional passwords.
Users will be able to log in to sites without a password from any smartphone or browser. These changes will appear in the operating systems of Apple, Google and Microsoft next year.
“Just as we design our products to be intuitive and capable,” said Apple senior director of platform product marketing, Kurt Knight, in the statement, “we also design them to be private and secure.” “Working with the industry to establish new, more secure sign-in methods that offer better protection and eliminate the vulnerabilities of passwords is central to our commitment to building products that offer maximum security and a transparent user experience,” continued Knight, “all with the goal of keeping users’ personal information safe.”
