Companies shift from passwords to biometric security methods by 2030

Passwords are becoming less common as companies like Mastercard and Visa plan to eliminate them by 2030. Instead, they will use biometric methods, such as fingerprints and facial recognition, to verify identity. Tech giants like Microsoft and Google are introducing "passkeys," which store a pin on both the cloud and the user's device. This method aims to enhance security, but risks remain, including device theft and hacking. Despite the ongoing battle between security measures and hackers, many small-business owners believe the benefits of technology outweigh the risks. They continue to implement security practices to protect their data, acknowledging that no method is foolproof.
