Neither of these methods are simple. I don't have a camera or fingerprint reader, idk what is FIDO security key or how to get one, and mobile phone can be lost or cease working at any moment so it's not a reliable method of authentication.
- mgiannopoulos 8y agoSo what is your suggested simple, reliable method of authentication? Does one exist?
- Grue3 8y agoA password sent over an encrypted connection and hashed+salted on the backend? It's an extremely reliable and proven method that has been used for decades!
- Accacin 8y agoIt's not reliable because I have to trust the owner of the site.
- toyg 8y agoTotally secure against data breaches and phishing, as we've seen over and over again. Oh wait...
- mgiannopoulos 8y agoYou need to remember the password though. Quite more possible to forget the password than losing your mobile device.
