A reason is existing OTP dongles or biometrics only fit well when the user uses a single device. If a user uses multiple devices such as a smartphone, tablet, and laptops to control IoT services, only a user password works interchangeably. A user authentication method should be interchangeable for all smart devices but existing 2FA or passwordless technologies work only with certain devices or are inconvenient. So existing 2FA or passwordless technologies are troublesome to the user who uses IoT services with multiple devices.<\/p><p>To make this successful, we need to think about a universal crossover authentication method for IoT services using multiple smart devices. Instead of the user inputting a user credential, we should make IoT services present the credential, then we are free from user credential management.
