Passwords are becoming obsolete as fingerprints, access keys, and facial recognition gain traction. Tech giants like Microsoft are pushing for passwordless logins due to passwords' vulnerability to hacking and reuse across platforms. Alternatives like access keys, involving separate devices for authorization, are being promoted by the FIDO Alliance, which includes Google, Apple, and Amazon. While these methods enhance security, public hesitancy remains a challenge.
