The ‘safe’ for storing your passwords

How many passwords do you have? How many can you find when you need them? We all risk losing a great deal of time — and patience — searching for our passwords, sometimes in vain. The biometric security USB key, based on the innovative FIDO2 standard and built on top of the FIPS140–2 Level 3 certified MCU with SecureBoot & SecureXP capabilities, identifies a person simply by their fingerprints.

Today we are witnessing a continuous, rapid increase in cyber attacks. Most involve thefts of personal details, social engineering, phishing emails with malicious attachments or compromised company emails. 12345678, your date of birth or the name of your dog are not secure passwords, even if these are both the most common and the most cloned. To protect yourself, you need to choose passwords that are sufficiently complex, with a different one for each website and web application. Do you rely on your memory to keep them all? Better not to. But where can you store them?

The airpim team is constantly engaged in the research and development of innovative services with a high technological value as well as in scouting activities to monitor, test and offer powerful, safe, yet easy-to-use products and solutions. Our partnership deal with AuthenTrend Technology, a Taiwanese company that is a leader in biometric recognition (authentication) systems, has allowed us to identify and offer ATKey.Pro, the most secure USB key for storing personal details (username and password).

ATKey.Pro is a Bio-SAFE hardware-based password management token (USB device) that can store — in encrypted form — hundreds of sets of user details for web-based services. It is like putting your passwords in a virtual ‘safe’. ATKey.Pro is the most secure, best fingerprint experienced security key because the device: 1) is designed on top of the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140–2 Level 3 certified Broadcom Credential Vault (“CV”) featuring BroadSAFE security architecture, a standard defined by the United States government that combines extra security and convenience for IT products; 2) identifies a person and matches their fingerprints in less than a second; 3) the chip is based on the innovative FIDO2 technological standard and cannot be cloned.

“We all need to protect our data: documents, pictures, videos, whether at home or in the office. Using ATKey.Pro means significantly increasing the security level because it is like putting your passwords in a virtual ‘safe’. I would like to express my gratitude to AuthenTrend for the fruitful collaboration and for sharing their professional expertise”, says Tiziano Tresanti, CEO and founding partner of airpim.

“We believe industry collaboration is crucial to help organizations better protect themselves against the threat of cyber-attacks. AuthenTrend’s mission is to replace passwords with biometrics. We developed the easiest-to-use and most compact fingerprint security key to help enterprises and organizations quickly deploy top-down to maintain environmental cybersecurity. I am pleased to partner with airpim to build a more secure passwordless future together“, explains Zake Huang, Vice President of AuthenTrend.
