Quoting remme.io:

> No more passwords — no more break-ins. REMME implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks.

This is laughable. Nothing is unbreakable. This is using a blockchain so I'd be willing to bet that it's vulnerable to the 51% attack.

This account's post history is also suspicious. They only post articles and links to this project, and do not have any comments (no community engagement).



Of course, there are no solutions that will 100% prevent cyber attacks. The task is to increase the cost of such an attempt when efforts aren't worth the result. In a distributed PKI, it is not possible to access all accounts through a server attack, and it is also possible to dynamically and transparently track all changes in accounts.


Nor will this stop phishing of users handing over their private keys :D


Why does user need to hand over its private key? It obviously breaks the security policy.
