Why is BrowserKey good for me as a web surfer?
Some web-sites that are intended to be highly secure, such as online banking interfaces, require only a username and password to gain access. If your username and password are compromised (hacked, sniffed, stolen, guessed, etc.), your account can be compromised as well. Sites protected by BrowserKey assure that only you can access your online resources, and only from the computers you specify. Depending on how the developer of the BrowserKey protected web page(s) setup their BrowserKey protected web page(s), you may never need to enter a username and password again to access certain BrowserKey protected pages. You save time and can say “goodbye” to remembering complicated username and passwords when connecting to web pages protected by BrowserKey and not username/password user authentication.* *Some pages protected by BrowserKey still require username/password log-in depending on the developer’s implementation of BrowserKey.
