Why Big Tech Wants You To Ditch Your Password

The average office worker in the United States must keep track of between 20 to 40 different username and password combinations. With so many passwords to remember, many of us use the same ones over and over, or have a running list of passwords saved somewhere. Passwords are a very serious and expensive security risk. It’s why companies like Microsoft , Apple and Google are trying to reduce our dependence on them. But the question is, can these companies break our bad habits?
Update (January 21, 2020): A website mentioned in this video, WeLeakInfo, was shut down by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies on Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. The site claimed to have more than 12 billion usernames and passwords from more than 10,000 data breaches.
Passwords are a very serious and expensive security risk. A report by Verizon looked at 2,013 confirmed data breaches and found that 29% of those breaches involved the use of stolen credentials.
Another study by the Ponemon Institute and IBM Security found that the average cost of a single data breach in the U.S. was more than $8 million. Even when passwords are not stolen, companies can lose a lot of money trying to reset them.
“Our research has shown that the average fully loaded cost of a help desk call to reset a password is anywhere between $40 or $50 per call,” says Merritt Maxim, vice president and research director at Forrester.
“Generally speaking, a typical employee contacts a help desk somewhere between 6 and 10 times a year on password related issues,” Maxim said. “So if you just do the simple multiplication of six to 10 times, times 50 dollars per call, times number of employees, in your organization, you’re talking significantly hundreds of thousands of dollars or even potentially millions of dollars a year.”

Apple's 1 in 50k was actually a downgrade. If 1 in 50k random fingerprints unlocks your phone that is like having a 3 letter password. It would take the same number of tries to try all combinations. Same with the face id 1 in 1 million. Having an 8 character password gives billions of combinations and is much more secure. All these biometric systems such as voice and face scans can be faked by a computer AI. You would really need to have some way of making sure that what it is looking at is alive and not a recording which is not possible on a system that a person has physical access to. If I can get at the wires of a camera or biometric sensor I could feed it a video I took while walking past you and get in. Imagine if the government arrested you and wanted to get into your phone. They drill a hole in the back of the case and solder some wires to the camera and attach it to a computer USB port. The USB port outputs a video/data feed that was recorded with another iphone while walking past you in an interrogation room and the phone unlocks. A password however is encrypted inside the phone so without knowing what it is you would need to crack the encryption on that password. The only secure password is a long password that you know and nobody else.

It seems like most of these companies are trying to go from one-factor authentication with passwords-only to one-factor authentication with biometrics-only. Problem with biometrics is they don't require you to cooperate with someone who wants in (likewise for keys). If your phone uses fingerprints only, and someone has you tied up, they can just force your finger onto the sensor and get in. Now, if you combine biometrics with a password, forcing a finger onto a sensor only gets you halfway there if the person won't cooperate and tell you the password. Of course, the best approach is to combine all three methods and have a password, a physical key, AND a biometric scan, and require all three to be valid before giving access.

Because that's inevitable anyway and that's not the real challenge. But all you'd have to do is modify the device to bypass the sensor and upload the scan in the expected format. Maybe with some random noise. Im not saying it would be really easy. And it would mean you'd need access to the device long enough. But stuff like this is already out there. Fingerprint scans on there own are an effectively useless security measure once its been compromised.

Some 3rd party password managers do this too: The 1. Device to use the manager is free but you have to pay for more devices. The possible scenario: Your password manager changes all your passwords to a more secure one, but now, if you want to use your password on another device, the only easy option would be to pay the subscription for more devices. Because you depend on it.

[@danharvey3096]

Have never used facial recognition or thumb-print biometrics, it just seems too open to abuse by a future authoritarian government if you ask me, particularly considering our cameras and mics can already be turned on remotely via the mechanisation of the apps we use. Facial recognition surveillance is made much easier when our biometric data is processed in the system rather than just some still photos. Plus biometric details can still be hacked anyway. So I stick with a complex password combination which I remember, but I change every so often, and I use Google authenticator or Authy where possible.. I don't see how Google authenticator is any less secure than biometric anyway since it's a very limited time code which has to be viewed in person..

[@uniquechannelnames]

Seriously go get a physical security key (like a yubikey). They don't use any biometrics (well a new gen of Yubikey is introducing a fingerprint on the conductor but I'm nearly 100% sure that will only be stored locally on the key not on any server, but the 5 series just has a plain conductor button to prove your pushing the button) and dont use any personal information. The keys are not tied to your identity. They are also waaay more secure than facial or biometric data, they cannot be copied, cannot be spoofed, and are immune to phishing (unless you mail your security key to the scammer physically lol). Most major websites have integrated at least Yubikey, if not most U2F keys. Yubikey is also great cause they're designed very sleek and thin, even the USB-A plug in key is about 1/8 inch thin. You can look up plenty of youtube videos explaining how they work, how amazingly secure they are, and really are the best all in one option for both security and maintaining personal and biometric privacy. Much more secure than Authenticator (although one-time password apps like Google Auth. and Authy are quite secure themselves unless you get Man in the middle'd or phished/fake websites that can enter your 6 digit passcode quickly, it's possible). But with security keys they need the physical key and to push a button on it physically to authenticate. Best option in my mind (and many top experts in the field).

@@iangreen180 you keep record of your TFA codes?

@@OggerFN Not every password has a 2FA code, but each 2FA code is for an account that has a password, so logically passwords outnumber 2FA.

Huh? It’s not me that wants to use passwords. Every single online website seems to requires it

[@johnangelico667]

There was a technology available in the early seventies which was just too late to market but could have displaced PINs and passwords. It was a signature recognition methodology involving both visible and physical characteristics (signature appearance plus the physical attributes of the person as they signed a document). Had this succeeded, passwords would have been moot, PIN security would have been irrelevant and customer acceptance would have been simpler and faster, with no requirement to remember anything, or to store offsets or encrypted passwords on computers anywhere.
