News Desk: We all often have trouble remembering passwords. But from now on this policy is going to change. The password will be scanned face to face. And that is where the transaction can be done.

Various online accounts can also be accessed. This 'facial verification system' is going to be officially launched in Singapore from next year. Singapore is the first country in the world to integrate this method with the national ID scheme. The government has said that the move is to improve the use of technology over time. However, many have also claimed that the use of this method by the government may create security gaps.

How to use this method?

It has been reported that multiple pictures of the person's face will be taken. It will then be linked to other government information about him, such as a national identity card, passport or employment card. The use of this facial verification technology for passenger safety monitoring at airports or for various services of companies like Apple or Google is already quite common.

However, some experts say that there is a big difference between using this method in opening a phone or making money transactions and adding it to national security. They say that the right to personal space will be further curtailed.
