Should I turn into keys?
Here is what security expert Chris Hook, defender of the privacy of the consumer in the privacy of pixels, told the Sun newspaper …
“It is difficult to remember passwords, and in most cases, it is easy to guess.
“I would like to try to say that most users (especially the older users) will reuse passwords, simply because of all websites and applications that require signals.
“Although password managers are helping, they are at best, which is the Stopgap scale and they do not provide complete safety for your login information.
“The corridors keys provide the feature to get rid of the need to enter an email address and a password for login.
“This is especially useful when users log in to the iPhone or Android.
“The corridors have multiple features of passwords. The corridors can not be shared or guess.
“The corridors keys are unique on the website or application that is created for it, so it cannot be used to log in elsewhere such as the re -used password.
“In addition, the corridors switches cannot be stolen in data breach, as the corridors keys are not stored on the company's servers.
“But instead, there is a special key stored only on your device, as biometric authentication (such as a face identifier or touch identifier) is required to use the traffic key.”
