We have long talked the merits of making use of our own episodic memory as a seed of secret credentials for solid identity assurance, At the end of the year, I would like to summarise and present them as follows.

- liberating us from the burden of struggling to remember what humans are unable to recall

- eliminating the troubles of managing the correspondence between accounts and passwords

- freeing us from the risk of carrying around memos/devices with unmemorable credentials written/stored on them

- enabling us to generate powerful text passwords and cryptographic keys by maximizing the entropy while not only minimizing the burden on us but giving us the comfort, joy and fun

- letting ubiquitous text-password systems to enjoy a healthy second life for many more decades

thus turning the painful log-in into a past history

Furthermore,

- encouraging us to consider a new breed of brain-to-machine/computer interface

- working as an antidote to the side effects and hyped myths of artificial intelligence and wrong use of cryptography

Readers might possibly find some more points that we have not yet noticed in reading this article, which has obtained the record reactions that has exceeded 1,000 in 90 days — “Quantum Computing and Password Authentication” https://aitechtrend.com/quantum-computing-and-password-authentication/
