Taking FIDO to the masses
summary
Argues that FIDO works at front‑end but fails at scale because account recovery and back‑door authenticators remain the main attack vector; cites password reset costs $70 per call and 30% of call center calls are account recovery and onboarding that can take 5–30 minutes. Describes a built system that shards PII in a decentralized data vault and pairs FIDO device biometrics with a cloud biometric backup using multi‑party computation and zero‑knowledge proofs; solution is under certification, not yet proven at global scale.
