You may not need passwords anymore, thanks to YOLO with Google, Dashlane
Goolge in partnership with Dashnale and other password managers will provide secure links.
Off the top of your head, how many passwords do you have Having a different password for each service is a must in today’s online world, but it is impossible to remember them all, isn’t it The search-engine giant, Google in its war against passwords has found a way to eradicate them all.
Google in collaboration with Dashlane has started working on a Project named, Open YOLO, (You Only Login Once).
The Open YOLO project currently exists as an API (Application Programming Interface), will allow Android apps to access login credentials by eliminating the need for passwords on the device.
The project would involve Dashlane and other password managers, which will provide secure links between the third-part apps and password managers, so that users don’t need to remember them.
In a move to secure online security, Google and Dashlane are helping create a seamless, universally-acceptable Android app authentication solution.
This partnership with power managers is not Google’s first attempt to lessen password burden from users’ head. In June, it introduced a “yes” or “no” prompt function, where users needs to tap to approve login request, instead of manually entering a code for authentication.
Apart from Google, Apple had introduced a new system that allows Apple Watch wearers to log into their Mac laptop by being in the vicinity of the device, without entering any password.
“In the future, we see this open API going beyond just Android devices, and becoming universally implemented by apps and password managers across every platform and operating system,” said Malaika Nicholas, Dashlane community manager.
