About FIDO Alliance and FIDO2
FIDO stands for Fast Identity Online. With an added number two at the end, this acronym is based upon previous work done by the FIDO Alliance, particularly in terms of developing the Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) authentication standard. It is the third standard to emerge from the FIDO Alliance, following the FIDO Universal Second Factor and the FIDO Universal Authentication Framework.
FIDO2 was initiated to eliminate the use of passwords over the Internet. It was developed to introduce open and license-free standards for secure, worldwide authentication over the Internet.
