In this joint briefing, RSA Security’s Jim Taylor and the FIDO Alliance’s Andrew Shikiar detailed the global transition away from legacy passwords toward robust, phishing-resistant authentication methods. Andrew highlighted the explosive growth of consumer passkeys, noting that over 5 billion passkeys are currently in active use across the globe since FIDO began its market-enablement mission in 2013. However, both experts agreed that consumer adoption is vastly outpacing enterprise deployment, revealing a massive market opportunity for channel partners and MSPs to guide corporate clients through the transition. To illustrate enterprise viability, Jim revealed that RSA has successfully migrated roughly 98% to 99% of its own corporate workforce to a completely passwordless architecture. He noted that common deployment hurdles stem from human behavioral factors and corporate change management rather than underlying technical limitations.
