A primitive form of passwords, called “watchwords”, was used by soldiers in ancient Rome to spot strangers.

Secret phrases echoed through the ages.

Guards of medieval castles often required them for entry.

These days, we still rely on passwords to safeguard ourselves against criminals, especially on the internet. Our passwords are - or at least supposed to be - unique, long, and complex. We juggle over 100 on average, often forgetting and reusing them. Luckily, the future is already here and it’s called passkeys!
