Abagnale Is Determined To Eliminate Passwords
Frank Abagnale, an FBI cybersecurity specialist and identity fraud expert, says passwords are an antiquated technology that should be shelved once and for all in favor of proven new identity authentication technology.
“I have said for years we have got to do away with passwords,” said Abagnale, who singles out passwords as a weak link opening the door to identity fraud. “Passwords are the evil cause of all the problems we have. On top of that passwords are stagnant. They are a 1970 technology that is long past due.”
Abagnale is an advisor and passionate advocate for technology developed by Trusona that eliminates the need for passwords with a secure authentication platform that was first developed for the CIA.
