Socially, we are posting more through online platforms, businesses are sharing more work over the web and thus the security of all this data is paramount. As technology has improved, typical passwords are starting to become out dated. Now, your own human features might act as your password to the future, we’ve all heard of biometrics.

Biometrics include fingerprints, facial patterns, voice recognition and behavioral patterns.
