Within the authentication landscape, traditional methods centred around passwords exhibit inherent limitations, thereby rendering systems susceptible to diverse vulnerabilities. The utilization of passwords, often selected inadequately or reused across multiple accounts, exposes them to potential breaches through brute-force attacks, compromising the overall security of users. Furthermore, the interception of passwords via tactics such as phishing or man-in-the-middle attacks further exacerbates the risks associated with password-based systems. Additionally, relying solely on single-factor authentication, predicated solely on passwords, introduces its unique set of challenges. In instances of a password compromise, the absence of supplementary layers of verification significantly heightens the risk of unauthorized access. These identified vulnerabilities underscore the critical imperative to explore and implement advanced authentication methods that surpass the limitations inherent in traditional password-centric approaches.
