Biometrics have become an important aspect. According to thalesgroup, “Biometrics is the most suitable means of identifying and authenticating individuals in a reliable and fast way through unique biological characteristics.” It is usually both quick and easy.
Two Factor Authentication is an extra layer of security to ensure someone trying to access an account or site is who they say they are. While we’ve used passwords for that purpose for years, we are notoriously unable to remember the full range of needed passwords. 2FA adds another layer of verification. More complicated for the user than Biometrics, 2FA involves either an app on a device or a texted code. (Texted codes are now not considered safe).
PASSKEYS
Passwordless security appears to be the holy grail of internet security. Since it relies on the highly sophisticated technology of cryptography, it is considered to be extremely safe. Rolled out by major tech companies in 2023, passkeys have begun replacing passwords. Recently, Microsoft announced it would be moving all users off of passwords and to passkeys.
