Instead, they can authenticate using biometrics such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or by using a hardware token such as a USB key.
Cost savings. Organisations can save money on password-related support costs, such as password resets and account lockouts. In addition, the risk of data breaches and additional costs such as regulatory fines, legal fees, and damage to reputation, is reduced.
