Could the slicklogin acquisition mean demise of passwords?

The popular shopper, google Inc has gone shopping once again to Israel to pick up one of the unique login features introduced. As the developers say, it may sound insane at start, but slick login was a firm which used unique sounds which when played through the speakers of mobile phone or computer will allow the software to identify the person.

This is considered safe, mentioning that the sound is not audible to human ears and can only be picked up by the microphone or phone. With this acquisition, experts consider this as a demise of password and could very well replace the now used password security.

Although google has implemented the 2-step verification for free, the stick login feature will be a added security option.

SlickLogin announced the acquisition on its website but did not disclose how much the deal was worth.

'Today we`re announcing that the SlickLogin team is joining Google,' the statement read.

'[Google] shares our core beliefs that logging in should be easy instead of frustrating, and authentication should be effective without getting in the way.

Google has always had a soft spot for Israel and it was revealed with their recent acquisitions like speadsheet company iRows, LabPixies entertainment, and mapping service Waze.

We are just gazing at the stars on what or when this new authentication is going to come in effect!
