Currently, I am diving into (and simultaneously writing an article about) passwordless authentication systems. And I can’t understand why Apple hasn’t yet made a phone that can serve as an authentication tool on desktops. Imagine logging into something like Google Mail, and it simply asks you to swipe your phone, look at your iPhoneX, or press a button on your watch. You swipe, look, or press, and voila, you’re authenticated in your email. Of course, this would need to work when the computer and phone or watch are nearby and belong to the same user (both devices logged into the same iCloud account). It would be incredibly convenient.
