Enter a password, an outdated method of authentication
Now time does not stand still and the usual input of the password with numerous symbols, because nowadays people often forget them, and nobody writes passwords from accounts on paper. They have not yet come up with a single alternative, but IT giants are rapidly working on a new way of authentication. Most recently, Microsoft introduced its own free Microsoft Authenticator, something similar to Google Authenticator. You just need to open any browser and enter the text password once to log in to the account, then the program will provide easy-to-enter ways: entering a PIN, scanning a fingerprint, scanning a face and the like. In general, everything that is convenient for a certain program. Another company Yubikey 5 invented its own physical key, which is a usual USB flash drive. It works according to the standard FIDO2, or simply "Login without password." The user writes passwords to the key and inserts it into the gadget, when you open the browser and log in to the account, the data begins to pull up. NFC support is provided for devices without USB. Apple offers to fully trust authentication through face scanning.
