My conversation on passive authentication overheard last week.

Kaliya Young · February 21, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Eric took the liberty of blogging this.

Kaliya: I don’t like Art Coviello’s thing about passive authentication. I don’t want them watching me. I want control.
Eric: ok – but passive authentication is already happening all the time – and its *preventing* identity fraud.
Kaliya: yea – but that’s not the way it should be done.
Eric: I agree, but would you have them turn it off immediately and watch fraud go up?
Kaliya: No, I’d have them change the way they do it.
Eric: I agree, but that can’t happen overnight – so in the meantime, would you have them turn it off and have fraud go up?
Kaliya: ugh.
