Are You Sure That You Still Need Passwords?

BSidesLV 2015

Presented by: Björn Pirrwitz, Daniele Vantaggiato
Date: Wednesday August 05, 2015
Time: 18:30 - 18:55
Location: Tuscany
Track: Passwords

Our mission is to remove username/password from internet. We are fools enough to think that the current auth paradigm can be much safer, simpler and secure if only it were completely reversed. We shouldn't manually type our data into a form; those who want our data should ask permission to read them from our smartphones.
