Kill the password

Passwords compromise security

I forget my passwords all the time. So do you. The average person spends more than 12 minutes/week entering or resetting passwords, and juggles 70 logins to keep their virtual life going. It’s tiresome to keep proving to these portals that you are you.

Authentication in the physical world relies on government issued ID cards. In the virtual world, passwords are still the norm. Between these worlds, a new reality is starting to emerge: the meta-verse. In this new cyber-physical reality, we should ditch the password altogether.

Passwords account for 81% of all hacking related security breaches. The core problem with a password is that anyone who has it can act as if they were you. It just needs to be stolen.

Here are the most popular vulnerabilities passwords create, from simple to sinister:

Password are clumsy, ugly and inefficient. The future is password-less. A world without passwords will create barrier-less interactions, cleaner UI/UX, and reduced IT storage/intervention. Passwords continue to be the most dominant vulnerability and burden for organizations of all sizes.

We currently live in two separate worlds: the physical and the virtual. Within the next decade, we will increasingly live in a third new world which is somewhere between the physical and virtual. This world is the meta-verse.

Physical world is the world without computing. You take a walk in the park, enjoy a sunset by the beach, and meet people in real life. In this world, authentication is based solely on government issued IDs.

Virtual world is when you are logged on to the Internet. You are constantly racing from one site to another. And with it, you are constantly having to proving to these sites that you are you.

And with that, we will say goodbye to passwords. At SecureMeeting, we are already hard at work.
