FIDO Passwordless Authentication
FIDO Passwordless Authentication
Beginning October of 2024, Academia Sinica will gradually implement FIDO (Fast Identity Online) passwordless authentication for SSO accounts. With FIDO's high-security protection mechanism, AS colleagues using SSO accounts will be safeguarded from malicious misappropriation. Additionally, passwords will no longer be necessary to access the new system. AS colleagues will have more secure and convenient access to information services by not having to remember and manage passwords.
Setup Instructions:
Install IDExpert app: Download and install the IDExpert app on your phone, and enable notification permissions.
Activate FIDO at IT Office: Two hours after your SSO account is activated, bring your phone to the 5F IT Office to enable FIDO.
Note: Once activated, please test the login on-site to confirm it works before leaving.
