The death of passwords

February 8, 2019

Enterprises need to start preparing for a future without traditional passwords, according to LoginRadius.

While 10 years ago, people only had to keep track of a password for email and banking, today, the average business user must keep track of nearly 200 passwords. Companies including Microsoft are making moves to replace traditional passwords with biometrics and security keys. Others are beginning to realize that commonly accepted methods for creating strong passwords are not actually effective.
