No More Passwords? WebAuthn Becomes an Official Web Standard
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) just approved the Web Authentication API, also known as WebAuthn, which is a new way to log into websites without passwords.
W3C’s WebAuthn Recommendation is a browser/platform standard for simpler and stronger authentication. It is already supported in Windows 10, Android, and Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safarii (preview) web browsers. WebAuthn allows users to log into their internet accounts using their preferred device, said W3C.
