What is the future of passwords on the Internet?

I don't know what other options are available, maybe fingerprint? I have no idea. From my end, I hate passwords, I always forget them. The question is will your product be working on all websites that need passwords?

Fignerprint sensor is a very good example, I have been using it on MacBook Air and its very good

Good question! I think in the immediate future it might be Fast or something like it. But in the long term I could see face ID being widely adopted, every laptop and phone has a front facing camera so it makes sense and wouldn't be surprised if thats the route Apple push with Face ID. A face ID SDK would be awesome.

As soon as we have a legal and regulatory framework that's not demanding for startups to follow and transparency with this process, I'm okay with any biometric authentication, as long as everyone follows the same rules. Such rules can be such as, 1) only hashes of the biometric data can be captured at any time so that we cannot ever have 'stolen' biometric data, 2) the hashing method itself much be random 3) to prove this, after a company reaches a specific size (10 million rev or 10,000 users), they must submit to random sampling inspections of their database and the codebase that pertains to the bio-authentication scheme. 4) the authentication systems themselves, whether fingerprint, palm, or retina, facial, cannot at a hardware-level capture the full features but only partials. This would be similar to PCI complliance.

Passwords are a good memory exercise. Biometrics can be uncomfortable, and ID photos you obviously only trust to very few institutions.

I personally think that fully passwordless internet will be the next big thing on the internet, especially when you use AI (face recognition) to authenticate users. The biggest challenge is how you create a friendly and seamless user interface to entice users to use your solution.

I look forward to a passwordless internet world. Not remembering my passwords (given the number of different requirements companies require) and not being able to figure out password managers is the reason why I haven't moved to a new computer for the past 2 years. Nothing more frustrating than being locked out of an account because you can't remember the answer to your own secret question from high school, then being on hold for an hour so customer service to reset it. It's also the reason why I hate switching to new phones. I would love to see facial recognition work with all logins, not just phone apps. Whatever you're doing, please hurry.

Ironic how the future of passwords might be "password-less".

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

Ready to check out as soon as your product launches. And talking about the future of passwords, obviously the world will be a passwordless world where people don't have to remember different passwords. Setting up passwords is honestly one of the most irritating things when it comes to signing up on different websites etc.

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?

Hey, Yeah. I do think passwordless is going to be future. I myself have implemented in the SaaS product I am building. I believe it does add a layer of convenience and security for the end-user. For now, we have been using cotter.app is working very well for us. It provides magic links over mail, OTP via WhatsApp & SMS and biometric support. I hope this helps.
