We live in a world of passwords that are like passports, without which we cannot enter our countries, cities, neighborhoods, markets and digital applications, from Facebook to Gmail, Instagram and Twitter ( twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube, Tiktok, Amazon, Alibaba, and many other websites and applications. The passwords are in Every place, and an essential part of human life in this digital age par excellence.

In fact, the average person in our world today registers in about 90 accounts via the Internet, which requires passwords to access them, and the number is constantly increasing, and very few are able to remember many of these words.

A study conducted by the University of Oxford in Britain in cooperation with the company "Master Card" confirmed that about a third of online purchases are abandoned because consumers cannot remember their passwords.

The study found that "21 percent of users forget their passwords after two weeks, and 25 percent forget at least one password per day," as stated by the Phys.org platform, which published the most important findings in the study.

Lots of losses because of passwords

And e-commerce experts say that major online sellers are losing a lot of shoppers and money because of this problem.

In fact, passwords are only part of the problem, but it is a major problem that consumers cannot remember all of them, and most sellers, banks, airlines, etc., ask for them online.

The study found that 51% of people use similar passwords repeatedly in order to make it easier for them to remember, which may facilitate hacking, which means more losses for users.

Often times, these words must contain a certain number of letters, numbers and special symbols, and it is better that they do not match the passwords of other sites.

And if you follow all the right cybersecurity rules, you should change your passwords on various sites every few months.

And not only that, there is also something called “multi-factor authentication” where these apps and sites send you an alert or text message after you sign in to the account to confirm your true identity.

Even if you follow all these steps to stay safe online, your password can still eventually be hacked, exposing your personal accounts to hackers, hackers, cybercriminals, and how much digital history people have lost after losing the passwords and passwords necessary to access their pages, websites and apps.

Is it possible to dispense with passwords?

But what if all of this was dispensed with?

What if you could access your applications and websites without passwords and passwords?

Yes, you read that correctly, and you will be able to get rid of a large part of your passwords and passwords for good.

As usual, technology is capable of solving the problems it creates, and perhaps the solution to all technology problems is more of them, and the solution to the password problems that have troubled humans so much came through the FIDO (fast identity online) Alliance ) which allows you to use your phone instead of passwords to authenticate your identity.

Apple, Google and Microsoft announced in May that they were launching new technology to enable users to work across websites and apps by logging into a single website in Chrome browser from a Windows computer. Using your iPhone, as author Dan Hawley mentioned in a report published by the “Finance.yahoo” platform recently.

Users will use facial or fingerprint recognition technology to register their identity through their smartphones, and once they confirm their identity on their phones that use the "Fido standard", it will remain there forever and none of them will need to enter any passwords to access and use their various websites and applications across the network. Freely without fear of the horror of losing or forgetting these words, the report said.

The whole thing may seem a little strange, but some companies already offer passwordless login options, for example Microsoft offers a similar feature where they require their customers to enter their username and then authenticate their identity via the company's Authenticator app.

The author stresses that the goal of the Fido Alliance technology is to eliminate the need for these different authentication applications, and instead allow you to log into different applications and websites using only the secure lock of your mobile phone.

Microsoft, Apple and Google have not provided any details about when they will start introducing and implementing this technology, but we hope we won't have to wait long.

Will we soon be able to say goodbye to passwords and passwords forever?
