The three technology giants have vowed to create a future where your phone will be the primary source of online authentication. The new standard is being referred to as \u201cmuti-device FIDO credential\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a rare show of alliance, Apple, Google and Microsoft have joined forces to expand support for passwordless logins<\/a> across mobile, desktop and browsers.<\/p>\n
