Fast ID Online and passwordless authentication, still dealing with hackers in a cyberworld
With the roll-out of the Apple Pay thumb-scanning payment system late last year, biometric identification has been introduced into the daily lives of Americans. But Apple Pay is only the beginning of a biometric revolution coming to the United States and countries around the world. Heads of global technology companies, along with top officials in the federal government, have been working for several years on creating a “universal” system for identification of every citizen using the internet. And it goes by the friendly label, FIDO.
FIDO, an acronym for the Fast ID Online, is the standard for developing “universal strong authentication” for the entire spectrum of internet-capable devices, including Android smart phones, online payments systems, even bank branch transactions. In mid-March of 2015, FIDO Alliance announced that executives from Google and PayPal had been appointed to leadership positions in that organization, a consortium of technologists and corporations working toward open source biometric identification systems. FIDO membership is growing rapidly and already includes a Who’s Who list of global corporations from Alibaba to Wells Fargo, as well as financial giants Discover, Visa, Mastercard and Bank of America.

We are just dogs to them
and they need to ‘identify us’ why again?
Unlike a credit card (w/unique number), if your biometric signature is stolen you’ve no recourse. With a credit card you can just cancel it and have another reissued. You can’t change your biometrics. This is why I won’t use them.
It seems one could say logging into a computer, using a cell phone, a tv remote, GPS buried in the workings of your car etc, is equivalent to having a chip in your hand, maybe the chips are not surgically embedded but how close to you have to be to get under gov’t and global corporation control without being physically invasive.
Just Saying!
Suggest using it for Voter ID and see how fast they back off.
