Passboard is a mobile security service that eliminates the need of coming up with outrageous passwords and lets users identify themselves with mix-and-match verification tools.
The idea behind the service is to have a more reliable security tool for data that the user cares about. By using Passboard, one may choose the level of security they can have for each application they use.
The security tools provided are voice recognition, face recognition, motion, location, token and password. The service lets the user use the most applicable tool at any given situation. For instance if you are in the dark, the face recognition tool is substituted with voice.
Instead of identifying yourself with made-up passwords that we tend to forget, Passboard lets the users themselves be the identification target.
