With the advent of a variety of social applications now, we have more and more accounts and passwords. QQ, everyone, know, micro-letter and so on, easily on the seven or eight-digit length of the password for our patients with amnesia brain is a heavy burden. Because I forgot INS account name, I never logged ins, of course, then ins was wall ...

Because of this, more and more password management software emerged. such as KeePass, LastPass, and 1Password are all good software for solving forgotten password problems.

These password management software can help us automatically remember to fill in the account and password, but in fact, can not completely solve some problems such as security. As long as there is a password, there is the account is black, password stolen, so the essence of solving this problem is, discard the password!

Mozilla's Webmaker website uses a very interesting registration system that does not rely on passwords and third-party social platforms such as microblogging QQ. Their idea is this:

Users will first enter a mailbox, select a user name, and then do not need to verify the account steps can be directly joined Webmaker. The verification account will occur when the user first logs in or tries to publish the content.

When landing, the user can enter the mailbox or user name, then Webmaker will send an email to the user's mailbox, the message contains a login button and the "Remember Me" option. Just click on the email Login button to log in successfully.

In addition, in order to solve the user in the public computer landing site security issues, the message also contains a copy of the verification key, users can be on the phone or other devices to receive mail, and then on the public computer input authentication keys, landing site.

In order to be safe, mail will be invalidated for more than 30 minutes or after it has been landed. The verification key in the message will not be valid until it is continuously entered and the intention is to guess the key.

Obviously, the security of the key is higher than the password, but sometimes the password is useful. Therefore, Webmaker also provides users with simple and easy to add passwords. For example, those who work in the fixed use of public computers, users can go out through the user homepage to add a password, and so on back to remove the password, simple and convenient in different circumstances to choose a different way of logging.

Webmaker This sign up for the idea, it is easy to think of net silver, Alipay system of authentication code. Interestingly, Webmaker is using the authentication code to solve the problem that the user forgets the password directly. If it is in the personal notebook this high security device, an email can be landed directly and remember the user, convenient and quick. And this password-free landing system in the public computer and other security devices are relatively safe. I believe that if the user does not access the password for the first time, more and more users will be accustomed to this kind of password-free landing system. There will be fewer and less cases of forgotten passwords and the server being hacked, causing large numbers of user passwords to leak.
