#NOPASSWORDS will it FINALLY happen?
What if we were to take static passwords out of the security paradigm altogether?
What if each time your account is used, you need to affirm that it is you on the other end?
What if your affirmation was wrapped in a unique value, so it cannot be used again by any perpetrator?
What if we only have user IDs and never use static passwords again?
This would solve the real problem and kill two birds with one stone.
#1: More security.
By ridding the world of passwords, there will be no incentive for crooks to steal passwords. Malware that steals passwords will lose its power, as passwords will have no value. By affirming it is really them on the other end, users can play a part in their own security. Users will know each time their account is accessed, and affirm or reject the transaction.
#2: More convenience.
By ridding the world of passwords, users no longer need to remember passwords, make them longer and complex, or change them. Password resets will be a thing of the past.
In the US alone, 70% of people have smartphones.[3] So why are we not utilizing these mini-computers in our pockets to improve our security? Users can authenticate themselves via their smartphones. No need to rely on telco providers; no need to worry about malware.
We can fight fire with fire, and use technology to raise the bar on online criminals. We can do this.
Enough is enough. Let’s reclaim the Internet. The cost of doing nothing has shown its ugly face.
I am here to recruit you to put a dent in the universe. Heed the call and join the #NoPasswords Revolution.
Trusona will freely provide their app and service to any company and Internet user. We call on the rest of the industry to do the same and offer free methods to rid the internet of passwords. This way we raise the bar together.
