      Don’t Ever Think About Passwords Again - Deepak Gupta

      Executive Summary

      The smartphone has revolutionized the last decade; it improved people’s lives to the extent that it’s almost impossible to live without a smartphone in developed and rapidly developing countries. Then the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased the number of digital interactions in people’s lives, making it necessary for organizations to digitize their services as much as possible to sustain competition, retain customers, and drive growth.

      A result of all this change is the need for consumers to create and manage more digital accounts to interact with and attain value from multiple apps, services, and platforms. And most of these accounts rely on passwords that the users manage insecurely, by setting easy-to-guess passwords, using the same password or a variation across multiple accounts, or insecurely managing the passwords. Consumers aren't the only ones struggling with passwords; password-related security issues and breaches have been costing businesses in terms of reputation, consumer trust, and revenue losses.

      This has led to a growing interest in authentication methods that don’t rely on passwords as better alternatives. Although such authentication methods — for example, biometrics — have been in discussions theoretically for a while, only recently they became more practical and viable to implement for production-grade applications and use cases.

      Currently, biometrics-based authentication is driven by the FIDO2 specification, which is led by a global alliance with board-level members like Apple, Amazon, American Express, Google, and Intel, among others. The specification
