Security seems to be a big deal on the internet. We appreciate that it’s there to protect us, but when we know that we’re not committing fraud and that it’s our own account, it’s just annoying. Why do our passwords have to be so long? Why does the whole thing have to be delayed while we wait for a text to arrive? You wouldn’t wait to be verified to gain entry to your home because you have a key, so why should this virtual instrument be any different? Maybe on-line life would be much easier if computers had a lock built into the keyboard or be powered by a USB device. Some people are relying on digital methods such as passcodes and fingerprints to gain entrance. That’s fine too, but at least we don’t get an e-mail or notification sent to our phone every time we do it. Banks seem to be more trusting with cardholders these days through contactless payments, so why can’t websites?
