Microsoft’s picture-authentication welcomed given password fatigue

Microsoft’s new picture password available on Windows 8 tablets and touch-enabled PCs has piqued interest of security experts. Security experts say Microsoft has not created a better alternative to a well-crafted password, one that uses letters, numbers and symbols. Microsoft’s experimentation is welcomed in the industry, which studies show is still struggling to get people to use more secure passwords than “password,” “123456” and “12345678” The company is offering something that’s more fun and is certainly as good as the sign-in methods used on Apple iPhone and Android devices.”]
