News Roundup: Rugged Tablets, Biometric Leggings, NFT Solutions, and More

This week’s roundup of Mobile ID World’s top stories features a diverse mix of topics, from biometric tablets to sensor-laden activewear. Even NFT-related technology makes an appearance.

The most popular article of the week, though, focused on passwords and their flaws. In particular, the feature delved into password use among children and ideas on how to push kids toward more secure post-password solutions, with FIDO Alliance Executive Director Andrew Shikiar weighing in with commentary of his own that focuses on the advantages of biometric technology on mobile devices:
