Valt - Effortless security through visual memory

Hey @brentheeringa, this is honestly one of the coolest products I've seen on PH in a while. I just downloaded and am definitely going to check it out. I enjoyed reading your Medium post on Recognition Memory. Are there any other pieces/studies/papers that I could check out to learn more about that?

Super easy to remember a collection of photos rather than a set of passwords or even a master password. It was a bit unclear that I need to have the Mac app in order for the Chrome extension to work but the Valt team was super helpful and guided me through getting everything up and running. I'm sure they'll make the UX of downloading and hooking up all of the apps/extensions much better as time goes on. Great product!

Pros:

Selecting the right photos is almost muscle memory. Better than trying to remember a password.

Cons:

Unclear that you need to have the Mac app for the Chrome extension to work.

Image based password management completely changes the game, everything else is just more painful long passwords.

Pros:

A whole new way to manage passwords

Cons:

Moving off your old crummy solution
