WTF IS FIDO?
Is it a very unimaginative name for a dog?
It is, but you’ll do well to train even the most faithful hound to do what FIDO does. It stands for Fast IDentity Online – and while that might sound drier than a box of biltong buried in the middle of the Sahara, it’s good news for anyone who uses ‘password1’ for all of their passwords. When you sign up for an account somewhere using FIDO, you’ll pick a username and then use your finger or face (or a PIN, if you avoid biometrics because you think The Man is out to get you) to authenticate. That’s it.
