In today’s digital age, our lives are intertwined with countless online platforms. From social media to banking, every interaction demands a password. This has led to a maze of alphanumeric combinations, often leading to forgotten passwords or, worse, compromised security. But what if there was a way to revolutionize this system? Enter PicKey.ai, a beacon of innovation that promises to not just simplify but transform the very essence of password management.

A Master Password that you can SEE

The brilliance of PicKey.ai lies in its ability to make cybersecurity accessible to everyone, regardless of their tech-savviness. By introducing a visual-based password system, PicKey removes the traditional barriers of complex password requirements and constant resets. It’s not just about creating a password; it’s about crafting a memorable, secure experience. With PicKey, users no longer need to juggle multiple passwords or rely on easily hackable patterns. Instead, they’re introduced to a world where security is as natural as recalling a cherished memory.

A New, Visual Login Process

The core of PicKey’s innovation is its new visual login. This is a two step process:

Step 1 : The Vision Secret – A Cherished Photo

The first step taps into the power of visual memory. Users select an image—a familiar place, a cherished object, a loved one’s face, or any significant visual cue—as their primary password.

This approach harnesses our innate ability to remember images, making the login process intuitive and user-friendly. PicKey “memorises” this image and automatically adapts to small physical changes around it.

There are about 1.8 Trillion photos clicked each year. Your photo (Vision Secret) is going to be really unique, private, easy to remember and with a special personal connection to you.

Step 2 : The Keymoji Secret – A new 3D Captcha

We then enhance the security and fun of the login process with the Keymoji secret. Users choose from animated 3D characters that come alive in augmented reality or 3D views. This serves as the secondary password, adding an extra layer of security and a touch of entertainment to the experience. These characters are private, virtual and known only to you. They simply vanish outside your login screen.

Sign-Up or Login with these Two Secrets

Together, these two secrets form your Master Password (Master Key) that you use to login to PicKey. It is like remembering a favorite scene in your memory, coming alive with your favorite character in it. You can also login with your face where the Keymoji is a 3D Mask on your face. Since your face is already known publicly, we advise creating your Master Key with a photo of something that you like; for example – a cherished object or a place that you like since they are anonymous and cannot be guessed by anyone (unlike your face).

PicKey : Picture is the Key

Well not actually. Its better than that.

On PicKey, it is the “Memory” of the picture where PicKey’s advanced AI adapts to small physical changes automatically.

Since PicKey is a password manager at heart, it will then manage all of your passwords from there on.

Live password free, actually..!

Unforgettable Memories become Master Passwords

The new Master Key based login process emulates human photographic memory, created artificially. You just need to remember a single, visual memory to log-in to PicKey. This memory becomes your Master Password (Master Key) to log-in to PicKey.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Now you can create a Master Password that strong.

Password Management

Once you login visually using your photographic memory with PicKey’s Master Key, we manage all of your passwords from there on.

Autofill Everywhere

PicKey provides autofill on all popular browsers. Native password autofill is also supported in both iOS and Android.

Digital Fortress

PicKey creates an instant virtual vault where you can store and manage all of your online information securely.

It is a full featured password manager with support for advanced features like password sharing, emergency contacts and more. PicKey also offers a comprehensive, free password management plan.

We will take up various features and tiers of PicKey in a different blog post.

Beyond any other Password Manager

Passwords are inconvenient, hard to remember, are extremely unnatural. All password managers of today, require you to create a text-based master password and ask you to remember it.

Managing text based password with another text based password means that the master password suffers from all of the problems that a regular password does. Most people forget their master passwords too.

By leveraging your innate photographic memory combined with an immersive AR and sound experience, PicKey offers a delightful login journey that users love, setting us miles apart from traditional password managers; all secured with our zero knowledge security architecture and military grade encryption.

Join the ‘Visually Stunning’ Passwordless Revolution.

Before PicKey came along, we had to push text based passwords down into our memory. Now with PicKey, amazing memories become master passwords. PicKey simply changes the game with elevated security and a convenience that has never been seen before.

FAQs

1. How does PicKey ensure the security of my visual password?

At PicKey, we prioritize the utmost security of your visual password. Our advanced AI processes your chosen image in a unique way, ensuring that it cannot be reverted back to its original form. This adds a layer of security, as the image used for your Vision Secret is transformed into a format exclusively recognizable by our system.

Furthermore, we employ military-grade AES 256 encryption to safeguard your data while it’s at rest. This robust encryption standard is renowned for its strength and reliability, providing an additional layer of security.

Most importantly, PicKey operates on zero-knowledge security protocols. This means that the encrypted data is not only secure but also fragmented in such a way that it becomes virtually impossible for anyone to piece it together or make sense of it. Even in its encrypted state, the data is elusive and inaccessible, ensuring that your visual password remains private and secure at all times.

2. How does PicKey adapt to changes in the chosen photo for the Vision Secret?

PicKey’s AI is designed to emulate the remarkable capabilities of human photographic memory, allowing it to recognize and adapt to changes in your chosen photo with remarkable accuracy. This is made possible through our advanced image recognition technology, which has been meticulously trained on millions of real-world images. These images encompass a wide range of lighting conditions, angles, and physical variations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of visual changes.

Our neural networks, the core of PicKey’s AI, are not only vast but also finely tuned. They have been rigorously trained with augmented data sets that simulate various real-life scenarios and challenges. This extensive training enables our AI to reliably recognize your chosen image, even when there are subtle or significant changes to it, much like how we, as humans, recognize a familiar place, object, or face despite alterations.

The process is akin to how we remember and identify things in our daily lives. Just as you might recognize a friend’s face even if they’ve changed their hairstyle or a familiar location despite seasonal changes, PicKey’s AI can detect and understand the essence of your chosen image, maintaining its effectiveness as your Vision Secret. This sophisticated approach ensures that your login experience remains seamless and secure, even as the physical attributes of your chosen image evolve over time.
