Password Risk Reduction Strategies Using Biometric Devices

Biometric technology reduces risk of data breaches and fraudulent activity. BSD Infotech provides solutions on digitalpersona-uru-4500-fingerprint-scanner and Futronic Scanners.

Every human being finger has a unique pattern and fingerprints can never be shared with any one. All application may it banking websites, ecommerece websites, corporate security mainly developed secure application with passwords. Passwords are highly vulnerable to theft because of human behavior. It has been figured out that there are risks associated with these password. Main risks are

Reuse : Humans use the same password at every where means a hacker only needs to succeed in one place to gain access to a range of others.

Complexity users naturally choose passwords that are easy to remember like 123456

Password reset: When users forget their passwords, they typically request a reset via email. Therefore, to attack any account, a hacker only needs to gain access to one account – the user’s email.

Shared: Passwords are readily shared. This can make it convenient for the requestor to share the password, but it tends to ruin audit logs and impede compliance, even when the users are trustworthy.
Hash attack: If a hacker can gain access to just one common website they can get the passwords of millions of people.

So the solution to all these problem is finger print authentication or bio metric solution.
