eBay stands out as the first e-commerce company to achieve FIDO certification and to open-source a FIDO UAF authentication server.
In advancing multifactor authentication, eBay is leveraging its ecommerce platform experience. By participating in the FIDO Alliance and sharing its FIDO UAF Server and Android client, eBay supports the push for open authentication standards within commerce.
These initiatives underscore eBay’s dedication to open-source projects and their support of engineers who drive the development and usage of eBay.com. In this way, eBay reflects its foundational principles of creating opportunities and fostering openness across the technology sector, ultimately enhancing user experiences.
Ebay is a global commerce leader, encompassing marketplaces, StubHub, and classifieds platforms. It facilitates transactions between millions of buyers and sellers worldwide, enabling connections that empower individuals and promote economic growth through interconnected commerce.
The FIDO Alliance was established in July 2012 to tackle the issues of interoperability among strong authentication methods and to solve user challenges related to managing multiple usernames and passwords.
