1053: Lefties are Right
Frank Abagnale, Trusona and Passwordless Security
Frank Abagnale, the inspiration for "Catch Me If You Can," discusses a new technology called Trusona that aims to eliminate passwords within 24 months. Developed for the CIA, the system uses QR codes and identity verification to provide "Level 4" security. However, the hosts express skepticism, calling the concept "utter bullcrap" and questioning how it prevents authentication via stolen devices or biometric coercion.
