Win10 introduces a two-factor authentication system that will eliminate two major insane problems in online security.

  

Although we have seen a very promising new feature introduced by Microsoft for Windows 10, ZDNet's Ed Bott is still We have listed the detailed just-in-time, and specifically pointed out the new "two-factor authentication system". Ed Bott said that the introduction of this mechanism will effectively weaken phishing attacks and password database vulnerabilities, which is the two common means for hackers to threaten the security of network accounts.

For many people, dual authentication can be simply understood as —— when you use a service, in addition to entering the current password, you must also receive it by email or SMS. A separate access code.

This technology can effectively prevent hackers from accessing users' online accounts through illegal means unless they are able to access the user's email account or mobile phone at the same time.

And now, Microsoft has planned to deploy this "extra security layer" to the company's entire base per platform. Bott said:

“This feature will enable Windows 10 users to use devices (whether PC, tablet, or mobile) for credit verification purposes, and can combine PIN codes with biometrics (such as fingerprints). Technology so that it logs in to various supported mobile services.

If the PIN is stolen during a database leak or phishing, the attacker will not be able to access any services because another hardware part of the two-factor authentication is not in their hands.

Again, if you don't have the necessary password, it's useless to steal the device."
