Why big tech wants you to ditch your password

You might have noticed that most of your devices are able to be unlocked with something other than a password. Whether itâs your face, fingerprint or some other technique, the tech industry as a whole is planning to move away from these forms of protection in favor of some, lets say, more secure procedures.

Heavy modification: Russian âCyberphoneâ looks familiar

Elon Musk had yet another viral moment when he debuted the Tesla Cybertruck live on stage. The demonstration didnât go quite as planned, but the unorthodox design of his futuristic pickup made it a hot topic for discussion. The vehicle looked nothing like any other car (or gadget) on the market â until Russian phone company Caviar announced its upcoming custom device: The Cyberphone. But itâs not actually a new phone; itâs a heavily customized iPhone sporting a jagged metal enclosure, which looks just like Muskâs Cybertruck. Hopefully, itâs a bit more durable than the real thing. After all, Musk was able to easily shatter the âbulletproofâ windows. Sadly, if you break the Cyberphone, youâre out of luck. As a modified iPhone, itâs out of warranty.

Despite the window debacle, Elon Musk is still one of the savviest businessmen around.
