Also announced today, NTT DOCOMO will enhance its carrier billing payment partners' services by extending FIDO authentication to third-party operators. NTT DOCOMO is committed to driving authentication standardization in order to create a world without passwords, by offering its ecosystem partners integration with their FIDO-enabled DOCOMO ID service.

"By eliminating passwords with FIDO standards, we are able to deliver a superior end-user experience that includes enhanced security features; we are very excited to extend FIDO standards in new FIDO Certified devices as well as enabling more of our services," said Seiji Maruyama, Senior Vice President, Managing Director of Product Department, NTT DOCOMO, INC. "After we became a FIDO Alliance board member in May, we began collaborating to drive and invigorate the FIDO ecosystem. Open FIDO standards facilitate expansion throughout the ecosystem for our partner OEMs to deliver many FIDO Certified devices to the marketplace."

"NTT DOCOMO and their partners continue to lead the world in mobile innovation by delivering delightful experiences to their customers through FIDO Certified fingerprint and iris authentication that is both more secure and easier to use than passwords," said Brett McDowell, executive director of the FIDO Alliance. "As with many other mobile technologies pioneered by NTT DOCOMO, I expect this is just the beginning of a trend we will soon see from other mobile network operators and device manufacturers across the globe."
