“Ni, Min” [ Frank], Inventor of “Graphic Access Tabular Entry (GATE)” innovation, and winner of “Cyber-Security Innovation Award” in 2017 at International Cyber Security and Intelligence Conference in Toronto, Canada; participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Password Protection.

Password Protection

While passwords have become a part of everyday life, the debate remains whether passwords are a secure means of authentication and whether we should even continue using passwords. Irrespective of whether we use passwords or not, the reality remains that the digital global age has brought us a need for secured login and authentication protocol for logging into websites, email accounts, social media accounts, financial accounts, trade accounts, smartphone passcodes, ATM pin numbers, home security systems, alarm codes and so much more.

This is mainly because, individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) are increasingly accessing digital services over the years; and exponentially growing the need for strong user IDs and passwords. While a more secure means of authentication is both necessary in the near term as well as long term, the reality remains that as long as passwords remain a common method of authentication, privacy and security have become a fundamental necessity.

It is important to evaluate this further-

• Securing passwords
• New ideas, new innovations, and advances in technology that can bring us a promise of password security

Conclusion – Password Protection

Amidst the rising numbers of connected devices, the explosive growth of passwords is leading to complex threats to digital security. Since “Password Security” brings complex security challenges, we need to evaluate a different approach to login credentials and communication. Time is now to discuss the need for effective Password Protection!
