How Netlify Prevents Phishing Attacks with FIDO2 Passwordless

Netlify has successfully transitioned to passwordless authentication using FIDO2 tokens, which provides a phishing-proof authentication method. This move aims to reduce the risks associated with phishing and other password-related attacks. FIDO2 is an open standard that eliminates the need for passwords or rotating codes, making it a secure alternative to traditional password-based authentication. Netlify customers can now implement single sign-on (SSO) with supported identity providers like Okta and OneLogin, providing an additional layer of security beyond just passwords. By adopting FIDO2, customers can prevent phishing attacks, protect against credential stuffing, comply with industry regulations, and enjoy a better user experience.
