Enjoy the web without passwords

Security on the internet is a primary concern for every user as we perform many online activities like purchasing goods via e-commerce websites or online retailers where we give our personal information as well as payment records, Registering for a course or event where we enter all our details and many such situations where we tend to give much more information through the internet.
And all these important and private information stored over the internet is secured only with one parameter that’s the Password. Now, passwords can sometimes be an issue for you either in case you forget it or you did not create a secure password in the first place. If you use an easy to remember password which is usually a simple password, you might get into trouble as there is always a chance of database leak as we have seen in the past, and common passwords are easy to crack.
