Exactly. 'Resistant' not 'impenitrable'.

The article itself says that 100% phishing resistance is impossible. So I stand by my arguement that if you give an idiot a Yubikey, it still doesnt save them from themselves.

>Does this technology eliminate all risk? No. As this becomes widely deployed new attacks will be developed, but it will be MUCH harder for the cyber attacker.

> FIDO is extremely resistant to phishing attacks but adopting FIDO does not mean your organization is secure against phishing.
