A World with No Password - Dreams come True: Google
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google is going to introduce with its latest version of Google Play Services the Android 7.0 and above users will not have to use password for any apps or websites. The company announced that it will use fingerprint or PIN to log in various services by using FIDO2 a standard developed by FIDO.
Devices running Android 7.0+ is now FIDO2 Certified out of the box or after an automated Google Play Services update. This gives users the ability to leverage their device’s built-in fingerprint sensor and/or FIDO security keys for secure passwordless access to websites and native applications that support the FIDO2 protocols.
Web and app developers will also be able to add FIDO strong authentication to their Android apps and websites via a simple API call, to bring ‘passwordless’, phishing-resistant security to a rapidly expanding base of end users who already have leading Android devices and/or will upgrade to new devices in the future.
Speaking about the new development, Christiaan Brand, Product Manager, Google, said, "Google has long worked with the FIDO Alliance and W3C to standardize FIDO2 protocols, which give any application the ability to move beyond password authentication while offering protection against phishing attacks. Today’s announcement of FIDO2 certification for Android helps move this initiative forward, giving our partners and developers a standardized way to access secure keystores across devices, both in market already as well as forthcoming models, in order to build convenient biometric controls for users."
FIDO2’s simple user experiences are backed by strong cryptographic security that is transparent to the user and protects them against phishing, man-in-the-middle and attacks using stolen credentials. This comes as a good news for users who find entering passwords cumbersome.
