Katina Michael with Natasha Mitchell

There are many new ways to verify your identity that don't require passwords. So what might our lives look like without passwords? And is that reality even desirable?

What's your strategy for keeping all the passwords in your life both readily available and secure? Do you replace letters with numbers in words you won't forget? Do you cycle through days of the week? Months of the year? Seasons? Pets you once had?

What if it was possible to live in a world without passwords?

So what might our lives look like without passwords? And is that reality even desirable?
