By Felo News Desk · Published
At Authenticate U.S. 2026, Token introduced the TokenCore Card, a biometric smart card that provides on‑device fingerprint verification for passwordless authentication of both human users and AI agents, according to biometricupdate.com.
What happened
During the conference, Token demonstrated the new card’s ability to present signed FIDO2 authentications to enterprise systems in less than two seconds after a user enrolls in under five minutes. The company says the card works alongside existing identity‑and‑access‑management, single‑sign‑on and privileged‑access‑management infrastructure, preventing credential theft or code interception.
What the reports add
Biometricupdate.com notes that the TokenCore Card builds on biometric AI‑agent approval software the firm released in June. The article also mentions that Proof announced its X401 open‑HTTP protocol for production identity verification and signed transaction authorization for AI agents, and that Microsoft extended its Project Perception to include 35 new local agent types and dynamic risk controls.
What was said
Token’s spokesperson told biometricupdate.com that the card “provides phishing‑resistant multi‑factor authentication to every enterprise user, whether human or AI agent.” The same source reported that Microsoft described its Project Perception extension as a “bundle of activity and context signals, models and specialized agents” in a lengthy blog post.
How it came about
Token’s launch follows a series of announcements at major fintech events, including Money20/20 where Tools for Humanity unveiled its World ID for banking, and Proof’s June release of the X401 protocol. Earlier this year, Transmit Security appointed Matt Thompson as CEO to pursue growth in the agentic identity market, as reported by the same source.
