The FIDO Alliance today announced agenda themes and program highlights for Authenticate APAC 2026, taking place June 2–3 at the Grand Hyatt Singapore. Bringing together global and regional leaders in authentication and digital identity, the event will explore how evolving standards, regulations, AI-driven capabilities and real-world deployments are shaping the future of trusted digital interactions across APAC and beyond.
Authenticate APAC 2026 is the FIDO Alliance’s inaugural Asia-Pacific conference, building on seven years of successful Authenticate events in the United States and two years of regional APAC summits. It is supported by Government Sponsor, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore and Signature Sponsors, Google, Visa, and Yubico.
Conference sponsors commented:
“Making internet authentication simpler and safer is a world-wide team effort. The APAC region has played a leading role in driving the adoption of passkeys and more. It is particularly appropriate that the first APAC Authenticate is happening in Singapore, a known innovation center driving a safer digital future for its citizens,” said Sam Srinivas, Principal Product Manager, Google; FIDO Board Rep for Google, and President of the FIDO Alliance.
“As cyber threats grow in sophistication, having strong authentication standards is necessary to ensure that our digital systems and services are protected,” said Rodney Tan, Director, Cybersecurity Engineering Centre, at the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. “We are glad to support this inaugural event which will bring together public-private sector leaders to Singapore to exchange ideas, discuss strategies and set direction on authentication and digital trust.”
“We are seeing a fundamental shift towards more resilient, future-ready foundations of digital identity and payments,” said Krishna Thiruvengadam, Head of Core Platforms and Digital Solutions, Asia Pacific at Visa. “The future of digital commerce will be built on core capabilities like authentication and tokenisation, working together to deliver experiences that are both secure and seamless. As digital interactions become more intelligent and increasingly autonomous, trust must scale alongside innovation. Visa is proud to partner with the industry that’s coming together at Authenticate APAC 2026 to advance these capabilities. Innovations such as Visa Payment Passkeys will enable secure, frictionless experiences at scale to safeguard trust.”
