The average employee at work spends an average of 11 hours a year remembering, resetting, and typing in their Past-Words! Not to mention the hours we spend at home logging into and often resetting our streaming services. Using existing technologies has become something we have just accepted- logging in, manually entering, manually re-entering, and then forgetting the login credentials. Sometimes if we are lucky our phone or computer will save our Past-Words, so we don’t have to, but that leaves us open to hacking, malware, and ransomware. Complacency and a lack of understanding of new technologies have led us to a place where none of us want to be, but seemingly have no other alternatives, until now. See-Say® Trusted Identity Assurance™ is a cutting-edge voice biometric security solution that uses AI technology to capture your unique voice characteristics and create a top-of-the-line secure voiceprint that can be universally recognized for account login at streaming platforms. It is more secure than a fingerprint or facial recognition system, and the technology is simple in comparison.
- simply receive a prompt from your streaming service
- speak the numbers prompted, twice, and
- you’re connected and logged into your account.
It really is that simple, nothing to remember, no information to save and no time wasted resetting and remembering Past-Words.
Let’s see how this voice login approach would work with streaming services to improve their customers’ login experiences and contribute to their bottom line.
We’ve all heard of the big streaming service players: Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. There are numerous others, but let’s focus on how See-Say could significantly improve login times, customer satisfaction, and the company’s bottom line by simply removing Past-Words. Netflix was the first streaming service that was available directly on our phones, TVs, and computers, and it forever changed the way we think about entertainment. Netflix completely transformed the entertainment industry, beginning with the mailing of movies and shows and ending with one of the greatest entertainment revolutions of all time. Let’s look at how they’re attempting to reduce account sharing and the process of creating an account using their existing technologies. When creating a new account with Netflix the first steps are just like any other: Create an account, enter email and Past-Words, verify email, and set up a payment plan based on services and a number of accounts. Unfortunately, Netflix has explicitly run into several problems with account sharing and has spent the last several years trying to solve the issue. To restrict account sharing, we understand that Netflix has implemented a method of Geo-Tracing consumers to determine if accounts are being used concurrently in multiple locations around the world, and if they discover that you are sharing your account, they may increase your monthly payments based on users.
Considering these issues, let’s see how ValidSoft See-Say could help Netflix.
See-Say would simply alter how Netflix users log into their accounts, saving time and contributing to Netflix’s bottom line. The new login procedure would be – you create an account, you verify your email address, you speak the randomly generated digits served in your device, and voila! your name and voice are linked to your account, and you can log in from anywhere using your voice! See-Say would help to eliminate account sharing, streamline consumer login procedures, and significantly reduce overall technology and Netflix customer support costs.
Amazon is the next business on our list, and it has one of the largest app and platform stores in the United States.
It provides a wide range of streaming services, from freemium to premium channels, live, and more! They use this multi-pronged approach to reduce the need to track or limit accounts because the user has a yearly subscription in addition to the ability to purchase other streaming services, channels, and other items. Amazon has a diverse portfolio and technologies that limit the number of screens that one account can use. They still use Past-Words and require users to manually enter their login credentials to confirm and verify. We are once again living in a past-oriented world, wasting dozens of hours per person per year remembering, resetting, and re-entering Past-Words!
We would see significant changes in how we think about our time and security if Amazon simply used See-Say voice login for their streaming services.
The login and account creation would be, to enter and confirm your email, say a sequence of random numbers, and be linked to your account securely and quickly. Setting up multiple accounts and screens would be a breeze, going from minutes to seconds using your voice and no Past-Words to remember! We want our apps and devices to be secure and with so many devices linked to Amazon, and no Past-Words to steal, your information will never be more secure. We are beginning to see how See-Say can be used to save time and money and improve the overall customer experience. We don’t see people on Star Trek entering Past-Words to fire Photon Torpedoes or the Mandalorian entering Past-Words to enter his ship, so why are we still using Past-Words to log into our accounts and waste our time when See-Say is here?
Finally, we’ll look at Hulu, one of the most popular streaming services.
It, like Amazon, has a variety of entry levels, ranging from a free subscription that generates revenue through advertisements and commercials to one of the most expensive monthly and yearly plans if you purchase their live and full coverage streaming packages. It is also one of the largest streaming services, with multiple other services, including HBO, linked to it. And we’re still using Past-Words to create accounts, with dual verification and limiting screens to restrict account sharing and complicate customers’ lives by asking them to remember yet another set of Past-Words. (If you have 1-3 of these, you can see how much time a year can be spent setting up and maintaining these accounts, and that’s assuming you don’t forget your Past-Word).
Now let’s look at Hulu utilizing See-Say technologies
You’ll never have to remember another Past-Word again if you use your voice to log in and verify yourself, and limiting screens will be a non-issue because instead of disconnecting screens, you simply verify the user with their voice when they turn on a device. When compared to Past-Words technologies, See-Say is intended to streamline any login procedure while also making the process more secure for the consumer and saving time and money for the organization.
As we can see from the examples above, streaming services are one of the most popular and widely used forms of entertainment, with numerous ways to watch streaming programs while protecting ourselves from hacking, account sharing, and data breaches.
Past-Words can be a nuisance with dual verification, forgetting, and confirming, as well as a security risk by saving, storing, or even having your device duplicated; but with new technologies like See-Say, we can move securely into the future knowing that our information is secure, and we will never have to remember our mother’s maiden name and date of birth to access our accounts.
