About

Authenticate is the industry’s only conference dedicated to digital identity and authentication with a focus on phishing-resistant sign-ins with passkeys.

Join CISOs, business leaders, product managers, security strategists and identity architects at Authenticate to advance your knowledge of digital identity and authentication.

Now in its 6th year, the FIDO Alliance-hosted Authenticate Conference has become renowned for its high-quality content and vibrant community of professionals committed to advancing passkeys and related technologies to create a more secure web.

The focus of the program for the Authenticate 2025 conference is “achieving usable security across the account lifecycle,” with a focus on deeper dives on how to achieve phishing-resistant authentication with passkeys and the adjacent areas necessary to achieve end-to-end account security with usability in mind.

Registration

Authenticate 2025 will be held October 13-15, 2025 and will be co-located with the FIDO Alliance’s member plenary (running October 13-16) at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA, just north of San Diego. Last year’s conference welcomed over 850 total attendees in Carlsbad and remotely. Last year’s event featured more than 120 sessions with highly engaging content, plus a sold-out exhibit area with 60+ industry-leading exhibitors and sponsors.

Authenticate 2025 will build upon this momentum and feature detailed case studies, technical tutorials, expert panels, and hands-on lab sessions aimed at helping educate attendees on business drivers, technical considerations, and overall best practices for deploying modern authentication systems. Attendees also benefit from a dynamic expo hall and engaging networking opportunities that tap into the natural beauty of Carlsbad and the La Costa Resort.

Member Event: Future-Proofing Authentication: FIDO, PKI, and the Path to Post-Quantum Security
2025-09-18 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
As quantum computing moves from theory to reality, it threatens to upend the foundations of today’s digital identity security—particularly user authentication.

Traditional systems based on public-key cryptography face obsolescence in the face of quantum algorithms capable of breaking widely used encryption methods. The time to act is now. This session will explore the urgent need to rethink digital identity protection in preparation for a post-quantum world.

We’ll begin with an update on the current state of post-quantum cryptography and the key challenges that remain—especially in relation to PKI and FIDO-based authentication.

Next, we’ll discuss how organizations like yours can begin the transition to quantum-safe FIDO and PKI authentication using a crypto-agile approach, with a specific focus on FIDO hardware authenticators.

Join us to discover how to future-proof your authentication systems—and why it’s critical to start now.

Key Takeaways:

Understand the current status of post-quantum cryptography and its implications for digital identity.

Learn how to transition to quantum-safe FIDO and PKI authentication using a crypto-agile approach.

Explore how FIDO hardware authenticators can support your organization’s path to post-quantum security.

FIDO at ISC West 2025
2025-04-01 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Denver)
Join leaders from HID, Microsoft, and HYPR for a session “The Impact of Identity on the Physical and Digital Access Landscape”.

As cyber-attacks continue to break records in terms of both volume and cost, the search for a secure, scalable and convenient way to authenticate users has been a constant in the digital age. Consider these statistics:

86% of last year’s basic web application breaches involve weak or stolen passwords

hackers launch an average of 50 million password attacks every day

60% of phishing attacks resolve in lost or stolen data

108% is the projected increase in the cost of cybercrime over 3 years

When it comes to user authentication technology, striking the balance to protect access to physical systems and cloud-based applications in a seamless way is an increasingly important consideration for IT and cybersecurity professionals. FIDO credentials in the form of synced or device-bound passkeys have emerged as a game-changer, redefining how organizations approach passwordless logical access and security. During this roundtable discussion, we will offer a 360 view of key items to consider when building a comprehensive security strategy that secures both physical and logical access, and the importance of striking the right balance between high security and a simple user experience to ensure the strategy gets adopted.
