It’s high-time we should avoid taking the data safety and security lightly, and for which the world must understand that setting up a very strong password is the key. One should keep changing the passwords frequently. But managing multiple strong passwords becomes a tough job and this is where the Personal Authentication Device comes into picture.

The Phishing attacks have increased to almost 11 percent, which also sheds light on the password security breach, which is where our device is able to serve the motive of preventing such attacks, suggested Nikhilesh.
