Modern Authentication, Real life stories
summary
History of FIDO and concrete deployments: Yubico helps build U2F/FIDO2/WebAuthn tooling, donates 20,000 keys to Ukrainian government agencies, funds tens of thousands of keys for Defending Digital Campaigns, and ships hundreds to Freedom of the Press for journalist training. Operative results include Operation Safe Escape reporting life‑saving account protections and DDC calling security keys their most requested mitigation. Standards work yields technical features like credProtect and unlinkability to prevent cross‑site device correlation and resident‑credential leakage.
