Identity & Biometrics Insights 2025 (week 52)
The G2 Weekly Podcast delivers insights into the world of identity and biometrics. Each week, the podcast will cover important developments in the field, making it a valuable resource for professionals in various sectors.
(December 23, 2025 - December 30, 2025)
Show Notes: Identity Insights – Global Biometric and Digital ID Trends 2026
• The "Doom Loop" of Cyber Hygiene: Discover why, despite a year of AI-fueled threats and massive security spending, "123456" remained the most-used password of 2025. Learn why weak credentials still account for nearly 80% of breaches and why the industry must shift focus from "shiny tools" to basic hygiene and passwordless adoption.
• Global Biometric Consolidation: Analysis of the quiet consolidation of America’s biometric border infrastructure and the FBI’s hints at expanding its global biometrics footprint. Plus, a look at Vietnam’s ambitious digitalization plans and the push for cross-industry collaboration.
• Regulatory Roadblocks & Digital Wallets: A breakdown of the federal judge blocking Texas’ app-store age-verification law and the emerging priority of "reusable age assurance". We also discuss why experts are skeptical that the EUDI Wallet will be truly ready in 2026 and how Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is fueling Africa’s single-market push.
• 2026 Market Outlook: Key insights into Daon’s five predicted shifts for the new year, emphasizing AI defenses tuned for agentic threats rather than hopeful slogans. We also cover TransUnion’s board additions and strategic partnerships bridging physical and digital identity verification.
Analogy for the week: Relying on advanced AI security tools while ignoring basic password hygiene is like installing a vault door with retinal scanners on your house, but leaving the back window wide open—sophisticated defenses mean nothing if the entry point is effortless.
