Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, etc… are few ways of locating the position. SlickLogin has a unique dubbed voice based sounds. These sounds are crafted in a way that it becomes difficult for humans to hear. The process works in a way that the system plays the sounds via the speakers of the computer, laptop, etc… and then the computer responses back by sending a signal of receiving it. This acts as a verification process for login in the account. This can also be done in smart phones. There is an in-built app in Smartphone. The microphone of the Smartphone receives the sound and sends the confirmation back.
