There may be an update of passwords on google after the companies latest purchase deals with creating audio passwords. SlickLogin is one year old and is based in Israel. SlickLogin are responsible for developing a security system that uses audio to verify a user’s identity. SlickLogin has still yet to release this technology commercially.
It does this by playing a uniquely generated sound from your computer’s speakers, which is picked up by the mic on your smart phone. The app analyses the sound and sends a signal back to confirm the user’s identity.
According to Techcrunch, the service was built to be used either as a password replacement or as a secondary layer on top of a traditional password. Google already has two-step verification process, which requires you to enter in a code sent to the user’s phone via SMS.
SlickLogin said in a statement :
Today we`re announcing that the SlickLogin team is joining Google, a company that shares our core beliefs that logging in should be easy instead of frustrating, and authentication should be effective without getting in the way.
Google was the first company to offer 2-step verification to everyone, for free – and they’re working on some great ideas that will make the internet safer for everyone. We couldn’t be more excited to join their efforts.
