- Fido U2F Authentication – Facebook implements Fast Identity Online Universal 2nd Factor (FIDO U2F) to make login more secure by supporting multi-factor authentication, preventing phishing and takeover attempts by hackers
- How It Works – Users register physical security key such as USB device to their account, in addition to password authentication, which they can also use in other online services (e.g. Google, GitHub, Dropbx, Salesforce, LastPass, Dashlane)
- Secure Login – Makes logins secure because hardware recognizes account holder’s device, blocking hackers from accessing account through other devices
- Compromised Logins – Facebook estimates that 600,000, or 0.06% of more than 1 billion logins, are compromised every day
- Google Study Result – Found that U2F is one of most secure, easy to use, and cost-efficient authentication technologies
