Google tests method to access your account without a password – Digital Journal

 
 Google began experimenting with the possibility that people can use their services without the need for a password. Some users are being invited to test a new authentication method, which displays a notification on your phone instead of asking you to enter a password.

In this new method, just need to provide your address of e-mail. After that, the phone will receive a notification asking if you are trying to log on another device. If confirmed, the login is complete.

The idea is to bet on the popularity of smartphones, which become gradually almost integral part of the human body. . The more people have smartphones, plus the authentication method becomes feasible

The reason for the change is that the technology industry has reached a consensus in recent years: the passwords are no longer secure. Therefore, companies are creating new forms of authentication that does not involve a confusing keyword and hard to remember. Typically, authentication of two steps is the chosen path, with an authorization phase, which includes, in general, the generation of a code sent by phone or by a token displayed. This second case is very common in banks
