Back in August of 2019 (https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2019/08/fido2/), Bart Busschots told us about how someday in the future, we would be able be living a passwordless future because of something called FIDO, AKA Fast ID Online. Back then it was really only helping corporations but this week the FIDO Alliance made an announcement that shows real promise that the dream will be realized for normal humans. In this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite, Bart gives us a human-friendly explanation of why FIDO is awesome, how it will work, why it works, and what problems it solves. He even breaks it down into who will have to do what for this to work, and the good news is that normal humans won’t have to do anything at all. While this may sound like a super nerdy topic, and it does include a few brief ventures into private/public key cryptography, it’s really a joyful discussion of a future without password breaches. When Bart and I stopped recording, I asked him, “Did you notice how much I was smiling during this recording?” I think you’ll really enjoy hearing about FIDO and why passkeys rock.
