• Resumen

  • Many people use the same login for many accounts because remembering multiple complex passwords is a pain. So-called physical key authentication is already used by staff at Facebook, and Google is planning to roll it out to its users in 2014. Some of these keys or "tokens" will rely on their physical structure to make them unclonable, and could be used not just for computer logins but also to verify the authenticity of products that are prone to counterfeiting, such as wine. Google, along with many other providers of email or online shopping services, is already trying to strengthen password security using an approach called two-factor authentication.
