Virtually all consumer-space two-factor authentication mechanisms today already make use of the user&#8217;s smartphone,&#8221; FIDO said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The alliance also pointed out that existing multi-factor security software is prone to phishing. One-time passwords can be entered into malicious sites, and login prompts don&#8217;t necessarily distinguish between legitimate and fake sites. Ergo, we&#8217;ve gotta get rid of passwords altogether.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YjvyEBtgx8@zi4m0aE5axwAAAQU&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YjvyEBtgx8@zi4m0aE5axwAAAQU&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>The smartphone&#8217;s role in all of this is key, which means two things, according to FIDO. It needs to be a roaming authenticator, and the cryptographic identity bound to a particular device needs to be able to be relocated without requiring a password to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This framework for passwordless authentication relies heavily on mobile devices, and thus also on the security of the underlying OS. That&#8217;s by design, FIDO said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This shift from letting every service fend for themselves with their own password-based authentication system, to relying on the higher security of the platforms&#8217; authentication mechanisms, is how we can meaningfully reduce the internet&#8217;s over-reliance on passwords at a massive scale,&#8221; FIDO said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The second component of the proposal, which would turn devices into roaming authenticators, requires Bluetooth, which would be used as a proximity logon protocol. This should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with FIDO&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/fidoalliance.org\/fido-alliance-equips-u2f-for-mobile-and-wireless-applications\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">previous work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bluetooth under this proposal would be used for both proximity-based authentication and to authenticate a new device, eliminating the need for passwords when switching to a new smartphone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"> <span>FIDO is putting your security in OEM hands<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>FIDO makes clear that the whitepaper detailing its proposal is not a change in its standards. Rather, &#8220;it is a change we expect authenticator vendors to make in their authenticator implementation,&#8221; FIDO said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The paper acknowledges that FIDO&#8217;s proposal wouldn&#8217;t necessarily boost security to <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.nist.gov\/800-63-3-Implementation-Resources\/63B\/AAL\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">AAL3<\/a> levels, but said it would still be better than using plain passwords of phishable second factors. That may be the case, but a key question remains: will businesses be OK with trusting their security to an OEM?<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YjvyEBtgx8@zi4m0aE5axwAAAQU&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YjvyEBtgx8@zi4m0aE5axwAAAQU&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>FIDO cites Apple&#8217;s adoption of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/documentation\/authenticationservices\/public-private_key_authentication\/supporting_passkeys\" rel=\"nofollow\">Passkeys<\/a>,&#8221; which use iOS biometrics and iCloud Keychain public keys to verify identities, as one example of its proposal in action.
