Brett McDowell, Senior Manager, Ecosystem Security, PayPal The mobile ecosystem needs simple and strong authentication capabilities that provide better user experiences—and better security—than today's passwords, PINs or OTPs.The FIDO Alliance members are working together to develop an open, interoperable, standards-based ecosystem that will enable seamless integration of online services with any certified authentication solution (such as biometrics on mobile devices). Find out what use cases FIDO addresses and how your organization can be an early beneficiary of this game-changing initiative.
