The use of passwords on the Internet is as old as the Internet itself. Unfortunately, because so many passwords have been leaked online over the years, and hacking techniques are getting better and better, passwords are also easier to crack.
You can easily check whether your email or social media accounts have been compromised using the hacker check tool from Avast, a network security software company. We think few of you will be surprised by this. However, in the future, passwords may be gradually abandoned.
Microsoft has now come up with a new measure so that people with Microsoft accounts no longer have to rely on passwords. Instead, you only need to use the Microsoft Authenticator smartphone app to log in more securely. This applies to all Microsoft products, including Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella inTwitterThe following comments were made on this considerable progress:
“A secure future is passwordless. Starting today, we will realize this vision for consumers with Microsoft accounts.”
Vasu Jakkal, vice president of Microsoft Corporation, explained why this is a necessary development:
“Up to 579 password attacks occur every second. Passwordless authentication is one of the simplest and most effective tools available to protect your account. We are proud to lead the way to a more secure, password-free future. “
Do you want to get rid of the password, or do you prefer this new solution anyway?
