About Authenticate 2025

Authenticate is the industry’s only conference dedicated to user authentication – with a focus on phishing-resistant authentication with passkeys. Authenticate brings together CISOs, business leaders, product managers, security strategists and identity architects to share expertise and get the tools to roll out passkeys, while gaining a deeper understanding of the technologies and approaches to secure the broader identity and access management lifecycle. 

Now in its 6th year, the FIDO Alliance-hosted Authenticate Conference has become renowned for its high-quality content and vibrant community of professionals committed to advancing passkeys and related technologies to create a more secure web. 

Join us at Authenticate 2025 and be part of shaping the future of digital identity and security.
