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.
What Is FIDO2?
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.
Why Businesses Are Moving to FIDO2
Companies across finance, healthcare, logistics, education and government sectors are replacing passwords with FIDO2 authentication because it provides:
- Higher protection against phishing and credential theft
- Faster and easier login for employees
- Reduced support costs for password resets
- Compliance with modern cybersecurity and Zero Trust policies
What Devices Can Be Used with FIDO2?
FIDO2 works with several types of authentication devices, including:
- Smart cards with embedded chips
- RFID and NFC access badges
- USB security keys (similar to YubiKey)
- Built-in biometric authentication such as Face ID, Windows Hello or Android Passkey
This makes it compatible with both physical security systems and digital platforms.
How Corona Print Supports FIDO2 Implementations
Corona Print manufactures and supplies the physical components required for companies transitioning to passwordless authentication, including:
- Technology cards with RFID or chip integration
- Dual-frequency RFID cards compatible with door access and digital login readers
- RFID key fobs for tap-to-enter authentication
- Card accessories such as lanyards, holders and reels for complete employee identity kits
With the right configuration, an employee badge can become both an access card and a secure login token.
