Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of the (Fast IDentity Online) FIDO Alliance.

What is FIDO?

“ open industry association launched in February 2013 whose mission is to develop and promote authentication standards that help reduce the world’s over-reliance on passwords. FIDO addresses the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices and reduces the problems users face creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords.”

Did any one event precipitate creation of the FIDO alliance?
