FIDO-Certified Access Control Products from HID Address Security Issues with Passwords

AUSTIN, Texas—HID, a worldwide developer of identity and access management solutions, has announced a new line of FIDO-certified credentials. These credentials are powered by HID’s Enterprise Passkey Management (EPM) solution, which it says is designed to help organizations deploy and manage passkeys at the enterprise scale.

The Texas-based company cites new research from FIDO Alliance that shows that while 87% of enterprises are adopting passkeys, nearly half of those that are yet to deploy cite complexity and cost concerns as primary barriers. HID’s solution streamlines the shift to passwordless authentication.

HID says this next phase of HID’s passwordless authentication roadmap gives enterprises choice, flexibility, and speed to deploy FIDO without compromising user experience or security posture. The expanded portfolio delivers phishing-resistant authentication with enterprise-grade lifecycle management, making scalable passwordless security accessible to organizations of all sizes. The solution works seamlessly across diverse work environments while reducing IT support requirements through centralized visibility and control.

“Phishing-resistant authentication isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a journey, and we’re here to help enterprises along the way,” says Sean Dyon, vice president & head of the authentication business Unit at HID. “Rolling out passkeys isn’t just about issuing devices, it is about giving security teams the tools to manage them at the enterprise scale, with the same precision as the rest of the identity stack. Our next-generation portfolio delivers both the hardware diversity and FIDO management capabilities organizations need to deploy and manage passkeys at scale.”

HID Offers Several FIDO-Certified Products for Advanced Access Control

HID explains that rolling out FIDO across the enterprise isn’t just about secure hardware—it’s about control, continuity, and compliance. The company boasts that its new subscription-based solution empowers IT and IAM leaders to drive passwordless adoption at scale—securely, efficiently, and with full administrative oversight.

With HID’s Enterprise Passkey Management, Businesses implement:

  • Remotely initiate and manage provisioning: Issue FIDO credentials on behalf of users to reduce manual effort, end user training requirements and accelerate deployment.
  • Gain full lifecycle visibility: Enterprises can manage issuance, revocation and audit trails at scale to support compliance and operational efficiency.

HID hardware portfolio Meets Diverse Enterprise Needs

HID notes that through the expanded Crescendo line, there are three new purpose-built authenticators designed to meet the varying needs required for enterprise applications:

  • Crescendo Keys: Redesigned in response to market feedback for improved ergonomics, usability and accessibility the FIDO-certified products support FIDO2, PKI, and OATH with remote PIN reset for power users and regulated environments.
  • Crescendo Cards: A single, universal credential—a corporate badge that offers both physical access to facilities and passwordless access to digital enterprise resources.

All devices are fully compatible with Microsoft Entra ID and many other major identity providers, enabling seamless deployment within existing enterprise infrastructure.

Physical Access Control Support

HID says the new FIDO-certified products offer FIDO-based, passwordless access to business applications and physical spaces to increase workforce productivity through simplified deployment and management.

  • Seos FIDO-Enabled Card: Combines Seos physical access technology with phishing-resistant FIDO 2.1 authentication in a secure, single credential.

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems. To achieve SSAIB Grade 2 or Grade 3 certification, practice owners must ensure that security data i...

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
