Thank You YAHOO!!

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.
