Microsoft Windows 10 will support password Killer Fido 2.0

Passwords have become increasingly unsafe as a means of secure access. This is due to the ability to crack the improvement, on the other hand, because the technical system is always weak point-people. such as we in you think you think the good password is the good password mentioned, the password set the level and consciousness often make seemingly high-strength password vulnerable. Therefore, more and more security solutions tend to avoid this weak link, biometrics is one of them.

Microsoft is also ready to add support for this in the latest operating system. At the Stanford Cyber Security Summit held in Friday, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 would support the 2.0 Fido specification. The goal of Fido, the fast online identification (quick identification on-line) Alliance, is to eliminate complex user names and passwords by increasing the interoperability of mandatory authentication devices. Not long ago Fido just released the 1.0 version of the Fido specification, Microsoft immediately said to support Fido. "The elimination of passwords is one of Microsoft's top priorities," Dustin Ingalls, head of Microsoft OS Security, Fido president, said in a blog. "The device that installs the Windows 10 operating system will be able to support a rich third-party biometric reader, while Windows 10 will provide a simple framework for hardware manufacturers to implement the enhanced authentication mechanism for laptops or mobile phones." At that time, many applications may only need to press the finger or scan the eyeball to complete, no longer need to enter an ugly password.

In addition to Microsoft, the Fido Alliance has also won the support of many large companies in the industry, Google, PayPal, Lenovo, Bank of America, MasterCard, etc. are members of the alliance.
