Digital Smarts - Creating “Badges” To Help Youngest Users with Passwords

You are here

No matter how old you are, remembering the multiple passwords you use can be a chore, but imagine how difficult it would be if you didn’t even know how to read or write yet. A company called Clever is offering schools a new product called Clever Badges that will allow the youngest students to log in to hundreds of education apps without having to type a word. Kids will be able to flash their personalized “badge” at the built-in camera on their computers - a method Clever CEO Tyler Bosmeny says will not only ensure student data is protected online but will also help teachers keep student passwords private.
