A system developed by a collaboration of researchers provides a welcome relief from having to remember passwords.
Remembering passwords across various utilities is a challenge that many face. There are security breaches that happen in password-driven systems of entry as well. Now, a system developed by a collaboration of researchers provides a welcome relief.
Before you read this story, try to answer the following question: Who was the first person to text you today?
Even if you can’t remember, you can keep reading. But a group of researchers think that kind of question could eventually work as a simpler log-in method for some websites and services. The kinds of things you do regularly on your smartphone or computer may be easy for you to recall but difficult for a hacker to guess, they suggest.
We have a password problem. Each year, millions of our accounts are broken into, and no matter how many times we're told to make our PINs more secure, the most common passwords last year were almost willfully obvious: "123456," "password," and "12345"
Are passwords a thing of the past? Don’t bank on it
James Ball
There is no doubt that passwords have managed the trick of becoming both more complex and nigh-on useless. We have dozens of them, can’t remember which one goes with which account (if, indeed, we can remember them at all), and even then we still get hacked.
