What is the future of passwords on the Internet?

I will quite likely stick to using passwords for the rest of my life. I do not trust anything biometric for two reasons: It is something you cannot share in an emergency (e.g. Sister! Someone just stole my mobile! Please, log into my account and change the password!); and it is something that may be used as a motivation to keep you close. For example, if you are ever unlucky enough to be kidnapped, and all you passcodes are biometric, they will not release you until you have unlocked for them everything they want.

It would be interesting to think about a decentralized identity. Each user is the sole manager of his identity, which is logical! With a decentralized identity, the user could connect to any service that recognizes / validates this type of identification. With a decentralized identity, we can go further than the future of the password

I think it will be a two step authentication retina/face and password validation on the mobile or other device with the fingerprint

The decentralized identity market has certainly been busy. Gartner's 2020 Market Guide to User Authentication provides a good overview of the passwordless market and the major players. For a detailed description of the challenges and one leading vendor's take, try this report from HYPR: https://www.hypr.com/wp-content/... The big challenge for new entrants is how to break down the walls of the enterprise solution providers access and authentication stacks and not be relegated to point solutions status.

Cool. Password less, biometric less, lots of places to go. I'm working on a product in this space too. Good luck!

Passwords will soon be a matter of history

When I research the identity part. I found that the most challenge is not security, but the economy around it. The authentication mechanism these days requires a lot of infrastructure. You need an internet connection (minimum is 1 USD of internet/month), a device that is not considered deprecated by the standard (ex. you can't even use the app if your android does not at least version 6), a common sense of a user (ex. aging people do not know how to use IT, younger people doesn't care enough about it). With only these factors, it already prevents more than half of people in the world to use the service.

What is the probability of false prediction if every internet user in the globe use GazePass? What is the accuracy of Liveness detection? If I manage my webcam to input the recorded video of someone's account I want to hack how your system would act? Can I use this service in online payment service! If it authenticate a wrong user by any mistake who will take the responsibility? These questions resides around my mind when back then I used to think of this kind of service in action. Also it seems a vertical problem, so why big tech giants are not incorporating it in their services?

I am not sure password will go away, but right now i think biometric will be the option, and i also think face recognition is also a thing to consider

Is it possible to make all websites use Retina sensor?
