Summary

FusionAuth has announced a new technology called SimplePass that helps users remember their passwords by showing them their plain text password after only asking for an email address, and allows users to enter their password if they don't know how to copy and paste. The company's R&D team developed this feature as a solution to the frustrations of remembering complex passwords. While some security experts have criticized the technology, citing potential exploitation by hackers, FusionAuth believes it is secure and has already received positive feedback from users who find it easier to log in with their email address.
