Security should be easy, or people simply won't adopt it. This fundamental truth drives everything at Front Egg, where balancing robust protection with frictionless user experiences has become their mission in the SaaS identity management space.

During our conversation with Aviad Mizrachi, CTO and co-founder of Front Egg, and Miriam, their tech support engineer and resident Gen Z expert, we uncovered shocking statistics about how security friction directly impacts business outcomes. Did you know that 49% of consumers will abandon a purchase entirely when faced with a password reset? That's half of potential customers walking away with their wallets still full—all because of poor authentication experiences.

What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is the generational perspective. While older users grudgingly accept security hurdles as necessary evils, Gen Z approaches technology with different expectations. Having grown up with iPads, Google Classroom, and biometric authentication as the norm, they demand personalization, speed, and seamless experiences. Yet having witnessed countless data breaches affecting loved ones, they maintain healthy skepticism toward emerging technologies like AI. As Miriam puts it, "We understand that AI is innovative, but we also know new vulnerabilities will be introduced."

The rapid acceleration of AI has transformed security from a slow-moving field to one where threat cycles complete in days rather than months. Front Egg is responding with AI-powered solutions, including autonomous agents that protect both human and non-human identities. However, they emphasize that the human element remains irreplaceable—particularly in support scenarios where "people just want to talk to people."
