The fact that celebrity investors are willing to pour $620 million into the 1 Password password manager shows one thing above all: there is hope that the mundane drama of remembering all your different (and regularly changing!) passwords will come to an end in the future could end. The company's core business is to bring security and convenience together for users. Human memory is incapable of remembering dozens of different username and password combinations. It is therefore surprising that this type of authentication still prevails in the vast majority of IT products. It tempts users to write down passwords and store them on their desks or other insecure places. Retrieve passwords from secured cloud storage as offered by 1 Password,is only half the way to the goal. In the interests of security, the future could include entirely passwordless methods of login. In order to be able to invest in such technologies, 1 Password wants to hold back part of the new capital.
