HID, a global leader in trusted identity and access control solutions, has introduced a new line of FIDO-certified credentials alongside its Enterprise Passkey Management (EPM) platform, aimed at helping organizations deploy and manage passkeys at scale.

The announcement comes as new research from the FIDO Alliance shows 87% of enterprises are adopting passkeys, though nearly half of those yet to implement them cite complexity and cost as key barriers. HID says its new offering addresses these challenges by simplifying passwordless authentication.

The expanded portfolio includes the Seos® FIDO-Enabled Card, which supports secure access to both physical facilities and business applications, and the MIFARE DESFire EV3 FIDO-Enabled Card, integrating DESFire EV3 smart card technology with FIDO 2.1 authentication.

According to HID, the new subscription-based EPM solution gives IT and identity access management teams centralized visibility, full lifecycle management, and the ability to remotely provision and revoke credentials, reducing IT support needs while supporting compliance.

“As the line between physical and logical access continues to fade, organizations are increasingly seeking trusted partners to help streamline credential management across both domains,” said Jerry Wang, Head of Physical Access Control Solutions, North APAC at HID. “We are well-positioned to help organizations make that transition securely and efficiently with HID’s one-card solution.”

HID said the new FIDO-enabled credentials provide phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication with enterprise-grade scalability, making adoption more accessible for organizations of all sizes.
