For every online account you
manage it’s difficult to remember password. Whether it is social network,
banking, insurance or personal mail passwords are always being difficult to
remember. For some of accounts like banking and insurance password should be
string which should mandatorily follow some pre defined pattern, including
special character and other stuff. Thus it becomes headache to memorize such
passwords. Hence thank you for Yahoo password authentication.
Yahoo has come up with a solution
in order to help users making it easy to login into its email services. Yahoo does
not want it user to enter traditional password, and password managers like LastPass
would help you to remember pass codes. But yahoo does not even want its user to
have one in the initial phase.
So what has YAHOO introduced?
User would get a mobile code
to gain access to their account. This code is specifically generated for that
account only and it is unique. Every time the user login the code would change.
Hackers would no longer be able to hack password as the user has Smartphone and
code is delivered on it only. It is like
two factor authentication; in simple words lock your door with double lock.
Google has also offered similar kind of authentication, user needs to enter
password first then user would get a code to log in into mail account. It means
for Google sign in user needs to remember password. Yahoo differs because there
is no permanent password you get password on demand.
Yahoo has technically
thought of one-factor authentication but it would be a challenge to keep service
secure. Last year there was serious issue because hackers were able to steal
username and passwords. Yahoo lately but with innovative way helped user to
connect easily without remembering passwords. We hope this technique would encourage
other mail services to make their services secure also with help of one-factor
authentication.
