Passwords are a horrible, legacy method used for authentication. They are a ubiquitous, persistent nuisance that fall flat; password reuse, bad policies, expiry, easily guessed or phished, etc.

FIDO Authentication, developed by the FIDO Alliance, is a global authentication standard based on public key cryptography that perfectly addresses these legacy issues and the modern threat landscape.

In this talk I'll cover everything we get wrong about passwords and what the future of authentication looks like. I will talk about the FIDO framework, demo passkey authentication, discuss it's various use cases, and outline how you and your organisation can move to a passwordless future.
