Everyone will collectively relate to the fact that remembering passwords are getting worse and worse everyday. The more accounts we have to create for various purposes, the more passwords we have to remember. Passwords for websites and apps like online shopping, social networking websites, blogger websites, banking profiles and the list can go on and on. This is making each of us quite cynical about passwords and especially because of the special characters compulsory to use. Therefore, Yahoo has come up with this brand new idea of offering Account key.
The Profile Key offers a deal to simplify our digital lives and boosts the security as well. Though this is their second big move to eliminate memorized passwords, it will work and the first step was the password-free future which didn’t make it. This process is similar to Gmail's verification feature, where you have to enter a text code to enter in a browser. As per the Yahoo Support Team, this will not only solve your password remembering issues but also enhance the security.
