If you recall, back last year’s Google I/O conference 2015, Google introduced us to Project Abacus, an effort aimed at ditching passwords-based logins in favor of a completely different system that takes into account various factors including your typing and walking patterns, location, and voice.
Well, the Google has now given a heads-up on the project, revealing that the new password-free system will be made available to android developers by end of 2016.
But before that, the project – which has been under testing at over 30 universities in the US- will be tested by “several very large financial institutions,” something which will happen starting next month.
“And assuming it goes well, this should become available to every android developer around the world by the tip of the year,” said by Daniel kaufman, head of Google’s research unit ATAP (Advanced Technology and Projects), at I/O 2016.
