1. What is Web Authentication? What are the good and bad things about it?
Is a way of logging in to the platforms and web browsers’ applications.
Pros and cons are that is a way to access your user’s accounts but the passwords used are not secure any more. Easily hacked and/or greased
2. Which do you think is stronger: biometrics or passwords? Talk about the good and bad things for each.
Biometrics are way more secure than regular passwords, but you need to have a device to pass the biometric test.
3. What are ways to make your online accounts e.g. bank, social media etc. passwords strong?
Strengthening the passwords using special characters, numbers and uppercases.

1. What is Web Authentication? What are the good and bad things about it?
A more secure login system. It is simpler and stronger authentication but users must give fingerprints or similar biometrics dates
2. Which do you think is stronger: biometrics or passwords? Talk about the good and bad things for each.
it´s safer biometrics because the technoogy for evite passwords is very effective
3. What are ways to make your online accounts e.g. bank, social media etc. passwords strong?
I don´t repeat the passwords, i don´t use personal datas or sort passwords

Thank you for sharing your answers to this lesson’s discussion questions.

Pay a bit more attention to proper capitalization and spelling.

I don´t repeat the passwords, i don´t use personal datas or sort passwords

I don´t use the same passwords for different sites or apps., I also don´t use my personal data such as my date of birth nor assign short passwords.

Keep on doing this writing exercise to be better and better.

1. What is Web Authentication? What are the good and bad things about it?
Web authentication is an official Internet login process in web browsers and platforms around the world. The positive of this system is to provide security when you use these platforms, the negative is that if the login is not robust enough, it could be hacked and the access passwords could be stolen with the consequent loss of security.

2. Which do you think is stronger: biometrics or passwords? Talk about the good and bad things for each.
I think biometrics is more secure than passwords. Passwords can be guessed and stolen, we often use the same password for all platforms or an easy to remember password. Biometric login is more personal, not easy to hack and does not need to be remembered or written somewhere to be remembered.

3. What are ways to make your online accounts e.g. bank, social media etc. passwords strong?
In some cases, when the platform has the technology, I use biometric authentication (face or fingerprints), in other cases I usually use a theoretically strong password.

Great going with your writing practice!

Here is a bit of a better way to write this sentence:

Passwords can be guessed and stolen, we often use the same password for all platforms or an easy to remember password.

Passwords can be guessed and stolen because we often use the same password for all platforms or come up with easy-to-remember passwords.

Until your next entry then. Keep up the good job.

Nowadays any password can easily be hacked, all you need is a program that loops over all possible numbers, letters and signs, and time for this program to find it.

If you give me a choice, I will certainly choose biometric, each biometric fingerprint is unique, if I remember correctly, for each person, so it is impossible, perhaps for now, that there is a way to hack it.

If this article is right and the era of passwords is going to end to give way to an easier and more heavily protected form, I am looking forward to seeing it with my own eyes.

Good answers for this lesson. Great job.

Take a look at how to better express this sentence:

If you give me a choice, I will certainly choose biometric
If I had the choice, I would certainly choose biometrics
