FIDO2 vs SAML
Developers should learn and implement FIDO2 to enhance security in applications by eliminating passwords, which are vulnerable to breaches and phishing meets developers should learn saml when building or integrating applications that require secure, federated identity management, such as enterprise software, cloud services, or government systems. Here's our take.

FIDO2
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and implement FIDO2 to enhance security in applications by eliminating passwords, which are vulnerable to breaches and phishing
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for high-security environments like banking, healthcare, and enterprise systems, as well as consumer-facing services seeking to improve user experience with biometric or hardware-based logins
- +Related to: webauthn, public-key-cryptography
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
SAML
Developers should learn SAML when building or integrating applications that require secure, federated identity management, such as enterprise software, cloud services, or government systems
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing single sign-on (SSO) solutions, reducing password fatigue, and ensuring compliance with security standards like those in healthcare or finance
- +Related to: single-sign-on, oauth
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use FIDO2 if: You want it is particularly useful for high-security environments like banking, healthcare, and enterprise systems, as well as consumer-facing services seeking to improve user experience with biometric or hardware-based logins and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use SAML if: You prioritize it is essential for implementing single sign-on (sso) solutions, reducing password fatigue, and ensuring compliance with security standards like those in healthcare or finance over what FIDO2 offers.
