“When the claimant successfully demonstrates knowledge of the password to the verifier through an established authentication protocol,[4] the verifier is able to infer the claimant's identity. “ Wikipedia

Traditional Advice tells us that a strong and secure password is 12 characters, minimum. Includes special characters, and a mix of lower and upper case letters. The password is not a dictionary word, or many. And doesn’t use obvious substitution, like a letter for a number or vice versa.

• Two factor authentication: Is an added extra security layer, that in simplest terms is two passwords (factors). The user is granted access by presenting the passwords and a second piece of evidence (factor). Knowledge (something the user only knows), possession(something the user has), and (who the user is) Inheritance is presented to the authentication mechanism.

• Fingerprint is a biometric authentication; lets users use hand's fingerprints to verify their identity.

• Facial recognition is a biometric authentication; lets users use unique facial features to verify ones identity.

How to use the pass card: By default the passcard generates a block of four characters (password piece) A-G, 1-10. A strong secure password should be of at least 12 characters long. Instead of memorizing a long password, is much simpler for a human to memorize a pattern.

For this password, the sequence will be C3|G7|B10|E5|A1
The second password's sequence, will be A7|C9|D3|F4

Use perfect paper passwords

“Almost without exception, today's Internet users prove their identity online using a fixed account name and password. In the past, this simple system provided sufficient security. But with the growing popularity of online banking and eCommerce, the value of stealing online identities has skyrocketed. And the increasing presence and "spyware" and "malware" on innocent users' computers means that users can be "watched" while logging onto their banking and other eCommerce sites. Once their logon credentials have been "captured" and stolen, Internet criminals can easily assume their identity. The trouble with a username and password is that they never change. We create them, write them down or memorize them, then use them over and over again. What has been needed is an inexpensive system that provides something which changes everytime it is used. GRC's Perfect Paper Passwords system offers a simple, safe and secure, free and well documented solution that is being adopted by a growing number of security-conscious Internet facilities to provide their users with state-of-the-art cryptographic logon security.” https://grc.com/
