HOW TO SURF THE INTERNET USING A SINGLE PASSWORD:--
Do you like this story?
Using a single password on the internet is often a recipe for disaster. One account creation on the wrong site, and all of your accounts can be compromised.
On the other hand, how can you remember all of these passwords for each site, and which one you used where? It's a herculean task of memory. To make your life easier, there is software that will take care of it for you. Never click on "Forgot your password again." Read on to learn more.
Using Facebook Connect:-
Many sites are starting to use Facebook's login technology to verify your account, which means the only password you'll need is the one for Facebook. To take advantage of Facebook connect, simply click on the Facebook icon. You'll see a small Facebook overlay verifying your attempt to log in using Facebook. Comply and you'll be logged in with a single click.
Some sites that take advantage of Facebook Connect:
Some alternatives to Facebook Connect:
Using Keepass and 1Password:-
Using an online solution is great for sites that support those kinds of logins, but there are thousands of other sites that don't.
Browsers are another alternative. Most browsers store your passwords and will autofill them when you surf to a page it recognizes. The problem is when you upgrade your browser or if you ever have to reinstall, you lose all of those passwords in one foul sweep.
The best way to organize and secure your passwords under one is using software like Keepass (Windows, Linux, and Mac) or the Agile Web Solutions' popular 1Password software.
These applications will create very secure passwords for every site you create an account for and store it locally on your computer under a single password. When it detects a login, it will give you the option to fill in your account settings for you, using the password you enter or an ultra-secure password it has generated for you.
In the future:-
Requiring internet users to remember a different password for every site is unreasonable. That is why web service companies are more and more adapting to solutions like Facebook Connect and OpenID. It makes sense for software developers as well, since creating a sign-on solution of their own is expensive and arduous.
With these technologies growing more popular, in the future, you won't even have to think about logging in. A simple click will both authorize and log you in to any site, and the site owner can trust that you are who you say you are.
