Mr. Peniel John Whistely · International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology · 2024
Abstract: Passwords have served as our security over the years by preventing unauthorized access to one's data. Technology has advanced to the point where we are utilizing passwords in ways that are both considerably more secure and user-friendly than they ever have been. The industry and researchers have been compelled, therefore, by the flaws found and noted in this conventional system to look for alternatives where there is no risk of identity theft, hacking, or password cracking. The main developed password-less authentication methods are covered in detail in this chapter. Additionally, it makes an attempt to clarify each technique's finer points and operation by using a use-case graphic. The poor trying to would greatly benefit from and contribute to the callow attempting to investigate research prospects in this field. This work has illustrated biometrics' current place in the security field. In this study, we have also discussed the pros and cons of various approaches, as well as comments regarding the usability of biometric authentication systems.
