Don’t you hate when you forget your password to something? Or when someone logs you out of your Facebook and you can’t remember the password you created for it in ninth grade? Don’t sweat for another minute because mysocialcloud is here. Stacey Ferrreria created this website at the age of 21. All you have to do is log in, make an account, and never worry about forgetting a password again.
Once you register for this site all you have to do is click at the top of your screen on any website that requires a password and hit log me in. This is a cloud based product. Mysocialcloud also can protect you against hackers as well. You will receive a notification anytime someone tries to use your password or log in as you. People like to describe mysocialcloud as insurance for your passwords.
I think that this is an innovative idea because it is clearly a very real problem that has not been addressed before. This is something that most people get frustrated about, but have never really stopped to figure out a way to solve it. I also love that this can protect you from hackers as well, because this is becoming a much more prevalent issue with the expansion of the internet. It can encourage all of us as entrepreneurs in regards to how we come up with ideas. Realizing that most things are problems to someone can help people to frame problems in new ways and come up with new ideas. Overall, I think that this is an idea that will take off, and all they did was address an annoyance in a way people hadn’t thought of before.
As innovative as this idea sounds, an instant concern I have with this product is security. A cloud based web service, with access to a mass amount of passwords, seems like a prime target for information theft. I personally would not trust a web service with all my passwords. However, the notification aspect when someone attempts to login as you is interesting.
This is definitely a great idea, but I agree with Matt. I think the company will probably have some liability problems in the future. I can only imagine the lawsuits that could ensue if they were to have a security breach. I wonder if this would work better if it was associated with a USB fingerprint scanner, or something more secure than a single password for all of your passwords.
