Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2014 Professor Angela Sasse, UCL Computer Science Passwords have been used for around 40 years to authenticate people to computer systems, and nowadays on phones and touchscreen devices.

What might be the likely replacement? You can also watch this lecture on the UCLLHL YouTube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xg7mqWF4M8
