What is the future of passwords on the Internet?

by
•
Where do you see passwords in the future? Do you think passwords will always be around? Or are we headed to a fully passwordless Internet/world? Bonus question: what kind of biometric auth do you feel most comfortable with? Full disclosure: I'm working on a product related to passwordless auth.

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

@vincent__off Would love to learn more about this. Would you be willing to connect over a call to discuss this?

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.

@senuka_rathnayake That is precisely our frustration. If you subscribe to our upcoming page on PH, we can definitely provide you with early access. We are working out a sweet deal for early subscribers too--which should also be announced soon. Here's the link: https://gaze.ai/ph Our mission is to eliminate irritating passwords.

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

@adrian_pradilla_portoles Do you think this will be the norm across all services we use or just specifically stuff that are more sensitive (like payments, etc.)? Having to enter a password and biometric could be inconvenient for users, so would love to learn more about your thoughts on this.

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!
Taus Noor
@madsschmidtpetersen Oh wow would love to learn more. Would you be open to a call at some point?

@suvigya__ We sure hope so!

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.

@anugoon_leelaphattarakij This is an interesting point -- how do you think we can solve that?

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?

@mushahid2521 Great question. We actually won't let you log in to someone else's account from your device just using face recognition -- so even if you get a webcam recording, it won't help. Email OTP verification is needed alongside face recognition to access someone's gazepass account on a new/different device. As for the rest -- subscribe and stay tuned! https://gaze.ai/ph

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?
Taus Noor
@livedrawhksgp Not sure about retina alone - but definitely possible to have all websites use some form of biometrics
