Google looks
to replace phone passwords with `trust'
Google is set to begin testing a new
login method which replaces passwords with a `trust-based' system which
monitors the way you typically use your phone.
The
`Trust API', part of `Project Abacus', was unveiled at Google's IO developer
conference, and is set to be tested by a number of large financial institutions
in June, the Guardian reports.
The
system is designed to be used on smartphones, and works by constantly checking
for a number of personal indicators which can grant access to accounts or the
phone itself.
Instead
of asking for a password, the phone might analyse your face, your voice, how
you type, how you swipe, how you move and where you are.
All
of these bits of data are fed into the API, which then generates a `trust
score' which indicates how likely it is that it's actually you carrying the
phone.
