Will We Be Saying Goodbye to Passwords Soon?

Some tech giants have announced their elimination as early as September 2022

We will soon say goodbye to the passwords we have always used. We are facing a real cultural turning point. This revolution could change both our lives and our relationship with electronic devices.

The premise is simple. Especially when they are simple and repeated, like the classic “12345” combination, the passwords are too weak and dangerous.

So some of the major tech giants are planning

to cut them as early as September.

Apple, in particular, has said it. In that month it will introduce the login without password for apps and websites. The announcement took place on June 6 at the company’s Worldwide Developer Conference.

Now it is likely that other large groups in the sector will follow the Cupertino giant.

So 2022, as Wired writes, looks like the year in which millions of people will abandon their passwords.

The new digital keys resulting from Touch Id and Face Id will replace the traditional combinations. Apple calls them “passkey”. Then fingerprints and facial recognition will definitely become protagonists.

This will open the era of biometric data instead of the old “passphrases”. This should help increase online security and strengthen defenses against phishing attacks.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft have made efforts to expand support for FIDO Standard on their respective platforms. FIDO Alliance is an association that works on new, open and free, authentication methods to replace traditional passwords.

In the meantime, our passwords must be strong, long, and unique. If in doubt, you can use a “password manager”.
