Because passwords are being used for over 50 years and that lock is too old, so
Cryptographic Authentication
Based on self-sovereign cryptographic digital identity, I-AM Crypto-ID, the Pi-Control Cryptographic Authentication puts forth a secure wrapper around the legacy password based authentication design. Cryptography is the only science that brings provability to any identity verification claim on digital

Password based Authentication
Password based authenticators are a widely used means of authentication for digital services. Examples of password based authenticators include a password, a pin, a secret question and answer, a one time password (OTP), offline OTP, transaction password, CVV, VBV. The password based authenticators have inherent vulnerabilities leading to cyber threats and attacks
Password based Authentication Vs. Cryptographic Authentication

Vulnerabilities of Password based Authentication
Phreeking: Theft over phone call
-
User gives away password, OTP, CVV to fraudster over a phone call
-
User authorizes transaction received as a payment link
Social Engineering
-
Fraudster captures the password using tools
-
Fraudster guesses the password using user data
-
User shares it with the fraudster knowingly or unknowingly
Honeypot Attack
-
User sets one password for all digital accounts, that gets compromised
-
Email/ document containing all passwords of user compromised
MITM
A fraudster sniffs the password through malware on machine or on browser or on router etc.
