The greatest
danger of relying
on passwords is
fallible humans
Security threats evolve
and increase, and
password-based
security solutions are
unable to keep up
Future-proofing
identity security
begins with the
broad adoption of
FIDO standards
FIDO-based
passwordless
authenticators
translate into greater
employee retention
rates.
