Talk, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory,

Popularity in remote work and online learning has increased in recent years due to the promotion of health safety, modernized work policies, self-paced learning of employer degree programs, among other reasons. These trends place significant responsibility on the computing industry to support internet users across demographic groups, particularly on personal computing devices (PCDs). This is especially important as some demographics impact users’ ability to recognize and mitigate security and privacy risks. Since user authentication systems are generally the first security checkpoint when accessing a PCD, they play a critical role as one of many precautionary measures of an entire computing experience.
