Identity Management 

Identity Management is a process and framework of technologies and policies to make sure that authorized users have the authorized access to technology resources. One of their trends is evolving authentication methods such as getting rid of traditional passwords to keep user’s identities and vulnerable information safe and not as vulnerable to an unauthorized party. With replacing the traditional password what would take the place of that would be face recognition or fingerprints or even using voice recognition to step the authenticity of the passwords up. This tactic is becoming very popular and is used widely around the world for the majority of the population. Biometric authentication has been seen for many decades such as many ways of having to log online such as having a username and password, and the new face recognition we use for our iPhones and fingerprints used for some MacBooks to prove identity. The second trend is security over convenience, while many users of the internet rather have easy and smooth experiences with services online, but that is not always the case because as years go on the more advanced technology continues to be. This means websites and companies have to add more privacy and security for users to protect information such as addresses and credit card details from possible hackers on the web, which can be more complex because of having to make more than one password and many ways of authorizing identity for the authorized user. While a survey was taken by IBM Security they surveyed the United States, France, Italy, India, and many more countries which the majority preferred security over convenience for their apps that deal with their finances and accounts. About seventy-four percent of the participants liked having more than one password for the extra security. FIDO was created in the year of 2012 to help people create strong authentication technologies, and help with creating and remembering multiple passwords and usernames. The experience they are trying to help with is strong passwords for privacy and security but an easy experience online.
