Regular readers will know that one of the things I’m currently working on is the Pico project, which is trying to find a long-term replacement for passwords.
I learned an interesting statistic yesterday from Angela Sasse: we recently passed the point at which more passwords are entered on mobile devices than on traditional computers, and that, on average, entering a password on a mobile device takes three times as long as on a laptop or PC.
This would seem to confirm our belief that the need for Pico, or something like it, will become more and more apparent over time.
