I have a 70 years old grandma that is not used to use the computer, but she has an e-mail and Facebook, and every time she wants to access those sites i have to help her through the process. So, i got an idea, i know a little of programing, so i tried to do a batch file to automatize this process of opening Firefox, typing "www.exemple.com", and login in her account. With this she could at least see if there are any emails or facebook notifications, but i could just do an batch to open the email site, i would like to know if there is any way to do a program to login. Batch File:
While i myself am still experimenting and testing this batch file program on different applications, i am not sure as to the inner-workings of what this program actually does. All i know is it uses a java script installed on every windows computer to push keyboard commands to be executed. However in my experimentation i found that it could also serve as a means to fill in passwords and usernames.
Thus logging your grandmother into the specific website. While this is a rough approximate of the code i would have attempted running, it should still work. If it doesn't, start from scratch with the link i provided. In addition, if you need ways to include those special characters check here as well.
Most websites will require you to create an account if you want to purchase something or access their services. Creating an account typically involves registering with an email address and generating a new password. You might also need to create a username for the account, yet it would be another username that you would be tasked to remember.
The best aspect of logging in with Google or Facebook is that the website would never gain your password, keeping your connection secure and information safe. Instead, Google or Facebook will essentially confirm that your credentials are legitimate before bringing you to the website.
Aside from your profile pic, you could change your entire privacy settings to make sure that your friends can only view your posts other sensitive information. On the other hand, some services and websites require this information to function, which means that limiting access to your profile could negatively affect your user experience on the website in question.
Many internet users make the mistake of using duplicate passwords for different sites or opt to use weak and too short passwords. Suppose one of the websites you use is hacked because your account is tied to a weak password. In that case, the hacker may be able to identify patterns in the passwords that you create, making it more likely that they will gain access to other accounts you use across the Internet. By signing in with Google or Facebook, you reduce the number of passwords that you need to use, which invariably decreases the likelihood of hackers gaining access to your accounts.
Two-factor authentication is designed to add another layer of identity verification. While this specific technique can work in different ways, it usually involves a 4 to 6 digit number sent to your smartphone number. If a hacker happens to guess your password, using 2FA allows you to verify the login attempt before a hacker can gain access to your account.
Most password managers will store your passwords within an encrypted database protected by a master password. When you decide to log into a website account, the password manager will automatically retrieve and fill in the password, saving you an ample amount of time. They can also generate highly secure passwords automatically, which is very useful when creating a new account.
Your email address is used to look up which identity provider can authenticate you. This could be a work, school, or personal account. Upon entering your work email, you would be redirected to a URL from your workplace where you enter your credentials before being redirected back to the service. This is also how services allow you to log in via Facebook, Google, and other popular social media networks.
Which solution you choose as a service provider depends on your needs. Your will need to evaluate each type and weigh the benefits and drawbacks. No system is perfect. You will need to learn how they work and what their vulnerabilities are.
The purpose of this is to redirect to the account's identity provider. However the use case is not selecting between personal login providers such as Facebook or Google. It's to support organisational logins which have organisation-specific user identifiers.
These redirects support organisations using a product such as Microsoft's Azure AD without being required to give their users' credentials to Microsoft. They organisation can store their credentials in their own instance whilst still allowing access to external services such as Office 365.
For example, Google lets you use your phone instead of a password, so that means that they'll want to show that screen instead of a password prompt. Microsoft do too, and also provide options for using physical hardware keys like smart cards, fingerprint sensors, etc as the first factor authentication.
If you're using a managed corporate or education account, you might log in using SSO (single sign-on), which means you'll use one account to log in to all your services --- in this case they'll want to redirect you to that portal after you enter an email address, although often it is Google / Microsoft that provide the single sign-on account.
I'm sure there are also some other special cases which cause these screens to be different as well, prehaps when people are locked out of their accounts, or custom interactions designed for specific devices or companies.
From a security perspective, it doesn't really change too much. It does show what account names are available (e.g. if you enter in a bad email address into the Google login form it won't take you to the next step, so rather than a more vauge "invalid email or password" message you're getting "invalid email"), but you get this information already by trying to sign up with an email address that's already in use on the sign up form, so there's really no way around this on a public system like theirs anyway.
