That moment eventually led to the creation of HYPR, a platform that uses biometrics, tokenization, and passwordless authentication to secure users while simplifying the login process.We discuss:- Why the password problem has persisted for decades- How HYPR’s technology replaces passwords with biometrics and cryptographic keys- The challenges of mass adoption across enterprises and consumers- How HYPR is expanding into full identity verification—protecting the entire identity lifecycle- Why “passwordless” isn’t just about convenience, but trust and security- What the future of authentication might look like in 2035- The role AI could play in identity assurance and fraud detectionBojan’s vision is clear: the internet of the future won’t rely on secrets—it’ll rely on proof.If you’re interested in cybersecurity, authentication, biometrics, or the future of digital identity, this episode is a must-listen.
