Passwords are used from very olden days to provide authentication to any service. It is to be noted that the password strength plays a major role in the security of the system. Recently Google introduced a new way to replace passwords.
Many people are not aware of the password strength or having negligence decided to use simple passwords such as "123456" or "p@ssw0rd" as their account passwords.
There has been many hacks due to the simple passwords, but many are not even changing their passwords keeping it vulnerable.
Google inorder to keep it low introduced a new way of authentication known as #Trust API that can identify a person who they are claiming to be.
This API idenifies a person by taking Biometrics into consideration such as face and also other parameters such as voice pattern, typing pattern and timings, location. These parameters are considered and then decision is made.
Earlier there has been a method that the device unlock and lock if it is under a specific location and this is the upgraded version to it in the name of #Trust API.
If the parameters fails to identify a person then he / she will be asked to enter their password in order to provide access to the service.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
