Apple to kill passwords with a game-changing new face ID move
Can Apple really kill passwords?
Even so, Wright thinks biometrics such as Apple’s Face ID and Touch ID are “great,” pointing out that “the convenience of them is far better than any password solution.” Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at ESET, agrees: “We are still a way off passwordless times, but at least Apple is attempting to pave the way to make account access more secure as well as convenient.”
He explains: “When someone loses their iPhone or it breaks, they will require a recovery method to gain access back into their accounts—which is potentially where malicious actors will target in order to bypass the normal security and gain illicit entry.”
