Exploring New Frontiers in Account Recovery🛡️ Can NFC-enabled passports revolutionize account recovery? Account recovery remains a costly and vulnerable process, but there’s an innovative solution worth exploring: leveraging cryptographic security from NFC-enabled passports. In this thought-provoking blog post, IDPro® member Robert Brown discusses the potential and challenges of this approach. Key highlights: 1️⃣ Cryptographic protections in passport chips resist phishing, deepfakes, and social engineering. 2️⃣ NFC-based recovery methods improve security and reduce costs, replacing labor-intensive telephone verification. 3️⃣ User experience gets a boost with self-service recovery options powered by existing global infrastructure. While not a one-size-fits-all solution, this concept opens the door for creative, privacy-conscious innovations in identity management. 👉 Explore the possibilities: https://lnkd.in/g-zyTr9K #AccountRecovery #NFC #IdentityManagement #IAM #PrivacyByDesign #IDPro

The Importance of Conversational Partners in Standards 💬 Want to master new identity standards? Find your conversational partner. Learning identity standards is like picking up a new language—understanding comes with practice and interaction. In our latest blog post, IDPro® member Mike Kiser explores why open-source and demo systems are essential for accelerating adoption and deepening understanding of identity standards. Key highlights: 1️⃣ Open-source tools like Caep.Dev and Scim.Dev act as "conversation partners," offering a hands-on way to learn through experimentation. 2️⃣ Emerging standards like SCIM Events and the Shared Signals Framework gain traction faster with accessible demo environments. 3️⃣ Experience trumps theory—engage with tools that let you try it out instead of just reading specs. 👉 Accelerate your standards adoption: https://lnkd.in/gNH2iv6U #DigitalIdentity #IAM #StandardsDevelopment #SCIM #SharedSignals #IDPro
