Why UIID Makes Passwords Obsolete

Passwords are the weakest link in digital security. They are easily forgotten, phished, or stolen in database breaches. UIID replaces this outdated system with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

How it Works (The Simple Version)

Instead of a secret word stored on a server, UIID uses a "Lock and Key" system:

When you "log in," your device simply signs a digital challenge to prove you have the key. No "secret" is ever sent over the internet.

Advantages

  1. Phishing Proof: Since there is no password to type, a hacker cannot trick you into giving it away.

  2. No Database Breaches: Even if a social network is hacked, there are no passwords for the hacker to steal.

  3. Frictionless Experience: One-tap login across all your devices.

Transitioning to a Passwordless Life

As you migrate your digital life to the Web4 ecosystem, you will notice the "Login" button becoming a simple "Identify" button, making your experience both faster and more secure.
