Year on year, we see the number of data breaches and digital incursions increase, as the need for company cybersecurity grows and the potential risk associated with cyber threats looms ever closer. However, it’s worth noting that the vast majority of breaches come from the same culprit - compromised login credentials through user negligence, poor password management, or leaked user data. As a tool reliant on human behaviour, passwords remain one of our most common forms of protections, but also one of our most exploited-vulnerabilities.
This article from Venture Beat focuses on the gradual rise of passwordless logins, a new tool that has some promising potential in replacing arguably the most common cybersecurity measure on the planet.
It’s worth noting that the adoption of passwordless logins aren’t going to provide complete security for our accounts and apps, but, if enacted correctly, it could stand as a step in the right direction for further bolstering our personal data.
