No More Graphical Passwords

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 5, 2015, 5:30 p.m. (25 minutes).

What have we accomplished with passwords in the last fifty years? Embarrassingly little. We are on the brink of an explosion of authentication technologies, but so far much of what we see is the same flawed ideas repeated over and over. It is time for the community to step up and start leading the world to better authentication security. This presentation will look at where we are with passwords, biometrics, tokens, and other authentication solutions, and will also look at the big problems we still haven't solved.
