Founded in 2012 to reduce the world's overreliance on passwords, the FIDO Alliance works to develop passwordless identity authentication and access standards for websites, services and applications worldwide. The alliance's latest authentication specification, FIDO2, provides a secure and user-friendly technical framework supported by companies such as Google, Microsoft and Qualcomm.
After joining the FIDO Alliance, OPPO will actively use the FIDO standard in its smart devices and work to optimize user experience and improve authentication security. In the future, users will be able to use their OPPO smartphones as "passwords" to access various services across different browsers, apps and platforms, helping to create a seamless connection experience.
