Passwords have become one of the biggest weak points in digital security. They are easy to forget, easy to reuse, and often easy to steal. Even with additional verification methods like SMS codes, phishing attacks and credential breaches still happen every day.
FIDO2 offers a different approach — one that removes passwords completely and replaces them with secure authentication methods such as biometrics, smart cards, or hardware tokens.
FIDO2 is a security standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Instead of relying on passwords, it authenticates users through cryptographic keys stored in secure devices such as smart cards, RFID badges, USB security keys or biometric readers.
When logging in, the user simply confirms their identity using fingerprint, facial recognition, PIN or a security device — and access is granted without revealing any sensitive data.
Companies across finance, healthcare, logistics, education and government sectors are replacing passwords with FIDO2 authentication because it provides:
FIDO2 works with several types of authentication devices, including:
This makes it compatible with both physical security systems and digital platforms.
Corona Print manufactures and supplies the physical components required for companies transitioning to passwordless authentication, including:
With the right configuration, an employee badge can become both an access card and a secure login token.
If your company is considering FIDO2 authentication, Corona Print can provide custom smart cards, RFID badges and identity accessories tailored for secure access systems.
