Form 990, Part VI, Line 6: Explanation of Classes of Members or Shareholder The FIDO Alliance welcomes all organizations interested in helping to create a more secure online ecosystem for users and businesses. Membership allows organizations to participate in the definition of a standard protocol for secure authentication. By participating in developing the technical standard, and in planning and executing the Alliances marketing, certification and deployment programs organizations will gain a thorough understanding of how authentication is evolving to ensure a secure internet for the future.Benefits from participation in the Alliances activities that members will experience include:Stronger account/transaction security This results in lower loss rates and fewer problems to mitigate, and will bring the possibility of improved customer loyalty and less churn. Improved authentication will also reduce risk and enable new business models and revenue streams.Improved user experience The FIDO solution enables businesses to improve convenience for both customers and employees. As users no longer need to remember complex passwords, user provisioning is therefore simplified and the cost associated with remote password resets will be drastically reduced.Improved return of investment in authentication The costs associated with the deployment and support of new solutions will be significantly reduced in comparison to current proprietary approaches which connect a single device type to a single application. System management functionality will be provided by the FIDO infrastructure, rather than having to be built by each application developer. Less testing will be required, as all devices just need to plug into the FIDO interface, and the time to introduce new technologies is significantly reduced.Reduced risk of fraud Users of all FIDO-enabled websites and cloud or mobile applications will enjoy a reduced risk of identity fraud, with the convenience of not having to rememberand worry aboutpasswords. Trust in online systems will grow again as a result of consistent user experiences and higher security.The degree of participation will depend on membership level. Membership levels may be upgraded from Associate to Sponsor at any time during FIDO membership.
