FIDO's aim is to support a full range of authentication technologies, including biometrics such as fingerprint and iris scanners, voice and facial recognition, as well as existing solutions and communications standards, such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), USB security tokens, embedded Secure Elements (eSE), smart cards, and near field communication (NFC). The USB security token device may be used to authenticate using a simple password (e.g. 4-digit PIN) or by pressing a button. The specifications emphasize a device-centric model.

From a business and enterprise point of view, this is likely to be a huge selling point for Windows 10. An ever-increasing number of high-profile hacks mean there is widespread demand from businesses to implement security solutions that move beyond passwords however,the new authentication capabilities won't be restricted to business users of Microsoft services, as well as Windows 10 will also offer security integration for consumer services such as Outlook.com and OneDrive.
