Introducing Yoti Password Manager

It’s just that it’s not that easy to remember 14 random numbers and letters, is it.

Yoti’s Inaugural Hack Week: Lessons Learned So Far
In February, we held our first hack week here at Yoti, focusing on the the challenges that charities face with verifying people’s identity. We think that the hack method is an under-exploited tool in tech companies Social Responsibility toolkit. We have a hunch that we could use the method both to support charities to deploy technology to solve local and global problems, and nurture their confidence to embrace digital technology more broadly. So our inaugural hack was our first opportunity to test our hypothesis. Our Hack Week Format MONDAY Our Hack week partners, Founders and Coders CIC, spent the
