I announced this on X (I am often unable to find time to write blog posts, so I would appreciate it if you followed me on X as well), but today is the day of the 12th FIDO Tokyo Seminar: Toward a Passwordless World. The overall conference program (see below) will cover “Phishing Countermeasures Using Passkeys and the Latest Trends”.

I will appear on the closing panel, “Digital Credentials and the Identity Lifecycle.”

For those attending in person, I look forward to seeing you there.
