<a href="https://ghostfol.io">Ghostfolio</a>, the web-based personal
|
|
finance management software, supports passwordless authentication as
|
|
of now thanks to the integration of
|
|
<a href="https://identity.ic0.app">Internet Identity</a>. This
|
|
blockchain authentication system enables you to sign in securely and
|
|
anonymously to Ghostfolio. With this latest update, Ghostfolio is
|
|
ready for Web3.

To avoid the security issues that arise with password authentication
|
|
on the traditional web, the
|
|
<a href="https://internetcomputer.org">Internet Computer</a>
|
|
blockchain by <a href="https://dfinity.org">dfinity</a> has
|
|
introduced a new cryptographic authentication system. It is called
|
|
<i>Internet Identity</i> and is as convenient to use as Web2
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth">OAuth</a> ("Open
|
|
Authorization") providers like <i>Google Sign-In</i> or
|
|
<i>Facebook Login</i>.

<h2 class="h4">How to use Internet Identity?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Internet Identity</i> is based on the
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn"
|
|
>WebAuthn protocol</a
|
|
>
|
|
and uses secure cryptographic authentication. It provides three
|
|
options to authenticate yourself:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The built-in biometric authentication methods of your smartphone
|
|
or laptop (fingerprint sensor, <i>Face ID</i>, <i>Touch ID</i>)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The password or pin to unlock your computer or mobile phone</li>
|
|
<li>A security key plugged into the USB port of your computer</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you authenticate with <i>Internet Identity</i>, the service
|
|
only gets a dedicated pseudonym rather than sensitive user data like
|
|
the e-mail address or phone number. This preserves your anonymity
|
|
and prevents you being tracked on the Internet.

|
|
<h2 class="h4">The key benefits in a nutshell</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Authenticate yourself securely without the need of an e-mail
|
|
address, username, or a password: all you need is your device to
|
|
log in.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Built-in recovery mechanisms to ensure you are not locked out of
|
|
any service that requires the <i>Internet Identity</i>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Log in to various Internet services without being tracked by big
|
|
tech companies.
