INTRODUCTION
These days, you hardly wake up without hearing news of how someone is been hack. Anytime I open a blog site, news about breaching of security and how people loss their data or information always make the headline. Hackers have taken the advantage of steeling people data and especially financial data. They hackers only achieve their aim because of setback of online security. Online security should be the paramount of individual and all organization now; because no one is safe so far your information and data is online.
The password and username will have no longer prevent hackers to access of account.
Due to all these challenges of online fraud and hacking, a technology was initiated called Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
Two Factor Authentication is a two-step verification or tagged multi-factor authentication that require username, password and something that only the user has on them.
Example of Two Factor Authentication we all know about is Google Authentication and the other one called Authy. This two app provide an extra security to our online account.
But despite all their effort, there is still a setback in online security. They don't have that potential to protectour online account as we expected.
This is the reason why I want to know about Hydro Two Factor Authentication. Hydro 2FA is better than google authentication and authy. Google authentication and its colleague has a lot of disadvantage when compare to Hydro Two Factor Authentication.
HYDROGEN
This is a platform that make an organization to make use the features of blockchain technology to ensure security of information, sensitive documents, transaction etc.
Hydrogen has come up with their first product; it is called Raindrop.
RAINDROP
Raindrop is the first phase of Hydro ecosystem; which was design to provide system with a blockchain based authentication layer.
It has a devise cryptography technique that uses public Hydro blockchain built on ethereum to create a unique identity for users.
Raindrop has the features to bring a new revolution to 2FA world. Raindrop is decentralized unlike Authy that is centralized; with this, your authentication is not at risk.
AIM OF RAINDROP
This technology will provide additional security for financial data from the risk of been hacked and breached
REASON WHY HYDRO 2FA IS PREFER TO GOOGLE 2FA AND AUTHY
Google 2FAuthenticator only use single device. It doesn't support multi-device. It also lacks encrypted recovery backups. Once you loss your phone device, you already loss your access. Again google 2FA don't have desktop app, it is only available for mobile device. As for Authy, it depends on phone number. So once you loss your phone number, your security will be at risk and the app will no longer protect your account.
So Google 2FA and Authy has limitation; but that is not the case of Hydro 2FA Raindrop.
FEATURES OF RAINDROP
Ability to solve challenges of online security
It is a decentralized system I.e is not control by one server.
Recovery: If you lost your phone, Raindrop has a seed regeneration feature which will be used for your authenticator.
SOLUTION
Hydro 2FA (Raindrop) is the new evolution and future of authentication with many potential to solve all security challenges we are encountering on internet
