Creating a World Without Passwords

Passwordless X.1280 Training in Collaboration with ITU-D

In February 2026, the Passwordless Alliance, in collaboration with the ITU-D Asia-Pacific Regional Office, held an official ITU training course on the passwordless international standard X.1280 in Bangkok, Thailand. Security officials and experts from 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific and CIS regions participated.

Participants not only learned the theory behind the standard but also installed a free passwordless server on their own laptops and applied passwordless authentication directly to a training website. Since Passwordless X.1280 is available for free use in B2C and G2C online services worldwide, participating countries can eliminate passwords from their domestic services without any financial burden.

Are users still entering their passwords?​

The password-entry method not only imposes the burden of managing passwords—remembering and changing them—on users but also leads them to use the same password for all online services.

The international standard ITU X.1280 is a passwordless technology where, instead of users remembering and entering passwords, the online service automatically presents the password and the user simply verifies it. If you’re looking for a convenient and secure passwordless solution, use Passwordless X1280, where the service automatically presents the password. Passwordless X1280 is available free of charge for all B2C online services.

Is the responsibility for authentication still being shifted to users?

Input-based user authentication methods not only inconvenience users but also leave them vulnerable to phishing and pharming attacks. Help users feel secure when using your service by adopting an output-based service authentication method, where the online service assumes responsibility for authentication.

The international standard ITU X.1280 is a mutual authentication technology that allows users to verify online services. If you’re looking for secure authentication technology, implement mutual authentication technology that enables users to verify services. Passwordless X1280, which utilizes mutual authentication technology, is available free of charge for all B2C online services.

Are users still burdened with expensive biometric sensors?

Existing biometric authentication technologies are in-band authentication technologies that require a biometric sensor for each user device, forcing users to install a biometric sensor on every device. Try out out-of-band biometric authentication technology, which does not require a biometric sensor for each user device. Out-of-band biometric authentication technology is the simplest and most cost-effective biometric authentication technology.

The international standard ITU X.1280 is a device-independent out-of-band biometric authentication technology. With out-of-band biometric authentication, there is no need to equip each device with a biometric sensor; instead, the biometric sensor on a smartphone can be used across all user devices. Passwordless X1280, which utilizes out-of-band biometric authentication technology, is available free of charge for all B2C online services.

The password problem is not just a user problem.

It is a social issue that we must all address together!

The Passwordless Alliance is leading a global passwordless movement in collaboration with users, online service providers, government agencies, associations, educational institutions, and software developers to solve the problem of user passwords. In addition to fostering collaboration among participating organizations, the Passwordless Alliance is actively working to solve the password problem by providing the international standard-based Passwordless X1280 software free of charge to all B2C online services worldwide.
