Who We Are
The FIDO Alliance enables identity technologies that put trust and simplicity at the center of interactions among people, services, and devices.
Through member collaboration, we develop open specifications that make passkeys, online payments, digital credentials, agentic interactions, and edge device provisioning simple, secure, and trusted.
Our globally recognized certification programs give enterprises, governments, and consumers confidence that products bearing the FIDO mark meet rigorous interoperability, security and usability standards.
Every year, our flagship Authenticate conferences and global seminars bring together the world’s leading identity and security experts to share research, best practices, and shape what comes next.
Our Focus Areas
Passkeys
A phishing-resistant authentication credential based on FIDO standards that allows users to sign in to apps and websites with the same simple process that they use to unlock their device (e.g., biometrics or a PIN).

Digital Credentials
Verifiable digital credentials are emerging as a secure and privacy-preserving method for presenting identity attributes. The FIDO Alliance is helping align industry efforts to accelerate adoption at scale.
Learn more
Agentic AI
As AI-powered agents now perform tasks and transactions on behalf of users, the FIDO Alliance is developing open standards to ensure these interactions are authorized, transparent, and within user control.

Payments
The FIDO Alliance works with card networks, issuers, merchants, payment service providers, and standards bodies to make phishing-resistant authentication the default for payment transactions, checkout delegation, and agent-initiated commerce.

Device Onboarding
FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) enables Edge and IoT device onboarding at scale and provides a comprehensive authentication framework for distributed devices in keeping with the fundamental mission of the FIDO Alliance.
