Get ready, your face is your new password

Do you have trouble remembering the password to access your PC, your bank or the website of your social network? Many solve it by putting the same for every form they find. "That makes it very insecure to operate with these passwords. You know, we forget it, they steal it, they force it..." warns Professor Pablo Foncillas.

And what is the future of passwords? not have them "Yes, you heard it right. In the same way that it is difficult for us to remember very different passwords for each of the daily activities that we carry out, it is very easy for us to remember our face. Well, in the immediate future our face is going to play a role every time more relevant," says the researcher.

In the not too distant future "when we want to enter a site or app we will have another app, in this case, authentication, in which we simply have to bring the phone close to our face".
