Ep. #01: Why Passwords Must Die
Silicon Valley Tech RoastNorth AmericaTap play to hear real host chemistry, humor & banter
Wait, wait, wait. Emma, you texted me saying passwords are dead. Are you telling me I stressed out over having an uppercase letter and a dollar sign my entire adult life for nothing?
Exactly, James! The cybersecurity world has basically admitted the whole thing was a 60-year collective hallucination. The guy who invented them at MIT only made it so students wouldn't overwrite homework.
Sixty years ago?! We are securing our 401(k) retirement funds with technology designed during the Kennedy administration to protect math homework?!
Pretty much! And because the average person juggles over 160 distinct accounts, human brains break. We all end up using '123456' for everything.
