FIDO Sponsored Webinar| MFA and Identity Verification: Building on a Hardware Root of Trust

Passkeys are transforming authentication, but two gaps remain: adoption isn’t universal, and the registration and recovery flows behind them are still soft. That is where SMS OTP and AI-driven attacks persist. This session explores how the cryptographic key already in every SIM, tied to the phone number, can harden those flows and complement passkeys on the road to passwordless. A conversation with Glide, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon on what it takes for the ecosystem to close the gap.

Key Takeaways

• Passkeys solved phishing at login; registration and recovery remain the soft spots where SMS OTP and AI-driven fraud persist.
• The SIM’s cryptographic key, tied to the phone number, is a device-bound, person-linked factor that complements passkeys.
• Closing the gap at scale is a coalition effort across carriers, standards bodies, and relying parties.
