Did you know that the expression "the devil is in the details" goes back to the phrase "God is in the little things"? It means that absolutely everything matters. It would seem, what can be done with such a familiar action as entering the mail? For example, do not enter a password, but simply put your finger on.
Why is this needed?
Primarily for convenience. Each service asks us to choose a harder password so that attackers do not guess it. This password must be unique. Otherwise, by hacking one account, the fraudster will gain access to others. And after we have acquired dozens of unmemorable passwords, we have to somehow live with them.
Fingerprint login does not have these drawbacks - put your finger and logged into your account.
It seems convenient. What other options are there?
You can also use external USB, Bluetooth or NFC keys to enter Mail. These are special devices that resemble a USB flash drive. It is enough to bind such a key to your account once, and it will be valid for any browsers and devices that support the technology.
In general, all this is called electronic keys , and Mail.ru services are the only ones in Russia and one of the first in the world to use this technology.
In the future, we plan to add the ability to refuse to use passwords altogether. Electronic keys will be a convenient alternative that will also significantly increase security.
Ok i want to try
It's simple.
Go to the " Electronic Keys " or " Password and Security " page in the settings.
Add one or more keys. We described in detail how to do this in a special section "Help" .
From now on, by default, the entrance to the web version will be using an electronic key. The password can still be used as an alternative login method.
