The FIDO Alliance is tightening how relying parties evaluate passkeys and other FIDO authenticators, rolling out new versions of its Metadata Service (MDS) and a streamlined Convenience Metadata Service aimed at making it easier to separate trustworthy authenticators from outdated or non-compliant devices. The update is pitched as a way to raise assurance levels for passkey deployments without sacrificing user experience across mobile and desktop platforms.
