About Authenticate APAC 2026

This marks the first time the industry’s only conference dedicated to digital identity and phishing-resistant authentication will be held in the Asia-Pacific region.

Authenticate is the industry’s only conference dedicated to user authentication – with a focus on phishing-resistant authentication with passkeys. Authenticate brings together CISOs, business leaders, product managers, security strategists and identity architects to share expertise and get the tools to roll out passkeys, while gaining a deeper understanding of the technologies and approaches to secure the broader identity and access management lifecycle.

The FIDO Alliance-hosted Authenticate APAC Conference will deliver high-quality content and a vibrant community of professionals committed to advancing passkeys and related technologies to create a more secure web.
