Apple, Google, and Microsoft Team Up to Vanquish the Password
We've been promised the end of password-based logins on the internet for a very long time, but now it seems that promise may finally be fulfilled. The FIDO Alliance, an industry group aimed at standardizing authentication methods online, announced that its passwordless sign-on method has received support from the big browser builders: Apple, Microsoft, and Google. That means that later this year you will be able to sign in to your various web accounts across the internet without using a password in all the major browsers. If you use a modern smartphone, you'll recognize how this works. Instead of asking you to enter a password, websites will push a notification to your phone that prompts you to verify your identity.
