Join us in creating a world without passwords!

The authentication method requiring users to enter passwords falls short in terms of usability, security, and cost-effectiveness. Try using X.1280, recommended by the ITU, an international technology standardization organization under the UN. Online services with X.1280 present an automatic password to users, meeting usability, security, and cost-effectiveness all at once.

Passwordless Alliance is providing Passwordless X1280 software for free to B2C online services worldwide. Join as a Passwordless Alliance member now and help create a world without passwords!
