ToothPic Joins the FIDO Passkey Pledge: Advancing a Passwordless Future with Our Own Passkey Solution
ToothPic has officially signed the FIDO Alliance Passkey Pledge. By joining this global movement, we’re committing to eliminating traditional passwords and adopting passwordless authentication using FIDO standards. This pledge marks a significant step toward stronger, phishing-resistant authentication—and we’re taking it further by recently developing our own solution: the ToothPic Passkey Provider.
But what exactly is the FIDO Passkey Pledge, and why is it a game-changer in the fight against password-related vulnerabilities? In this article, we’ll explore the significance of the pledge, how it supports the global shift to passwordless login, and how ToothPic’s Passkey Provider plays a critical role in this transition.
FIDO Passkey Pledge - A commitment for a passwordless future
The FIDO Passkey Pledge was launched by the FIDO Alliance to accelerate the global movement away from passwords. By signing the pledge, organizations are committed to supporting and implementing passkey-based authentication—a safer and simpler alternative to traditional password-based login systems.
What are passkeys?
Passkeys are a phishing-resistant alternative to passwords that use cryptographic key pairs (public and private keys) for authentication. The private key remains securely on the user’s device, while the public key is stored by the service provider. This approach eliminates the risks associated with passwords, such as phishing, credential theft, and data breaches, while also offering a better user experience through seamless, biometric-based logins.
The FIDO Alliance’s standards for FIDO2 and WebAuthn support the widespread adoption of passkey authentication, making it easy for companies to implement secure, passwordless logins.
Why the FIDO Passkey Pledge Matters for Businesses
The shift to passwordless authentication is no longer optional; it’s essential for businesses aiming to stay ahead of security threats and meet the growing demand for seamless user experiences.
By signing the FIDO Passkey Pledge, ToothPic is joining a global movement led by industry giants such as Microsoft, 1Password, HYPR, and Thales. These companies are committed to promoting passkey adoption and pushing the world toward a safer, passwordless future.
For businesses, the FIDO Passkey Pledge offers several key benefits:
- Stronger security: passkey authentication is more secure than passwords, as it eliminates the need for shared secrets that can be stolen or phished.
- Seamless user experience: with biometric authentication (e.g., Face ID, Touch ID) or PIN-based authentication, users can access services quickly and securely without the frustration of remembering or entering passwords.
- Lower operational costs: by eliminating passwords, businesses can significantly reduce costs related to password resets, customer support, and data breaches.
- Alignment with global standards: adopting FIDO’s open standards ensures that businesses stay aligned with best practices in digital identity and authentication.
Join the passwordless revolution
The launch of the FIDO Passkey Pledge is not just an industry milestone—it represents a major shift in how we approach digital security. With the global adoption of passwordless authentication, we can reduce the impact of common cyber threats like phishing, data breaches, and credential stuffing.
The FIDO Passkey Pledge aligns with the growing demand for better security and improved user experience. It’s a call to action for businesses, developers, and organizations to embrace passkeys and move away from insecure password-based systems. By committing to this pledge, organizations can help drive awareness, increase adoption, and accelerate the shift to a safer, passwordless world.
