Umqambi wegama eligqithisiweyo nguFernando J Corbató. Njengabanye oovulindlela abaninzi beekhompyuter, sifunda ukuba ngoobani xa kukhutshwa iindaba zokufa kwabo, kubandakanya ngobomi bakhe kwi-Wikipedia imfutshane. Ukusweleka kwenzeka ngomhla we-12 kule nyanga ngenxa yeengxaki zesifo seswekile.
UCorbató wavelisa umbono wokusebenzisa ipassword ngelixa usebenza kwiindlela zokwabelana ngexesha Ingavumela abantu abaninzi ukuba basebenzise ikhompyuter enye ngokukhuselekileyo ngaxeshanye.
Isazinzulu esaziwayo saqala izifundo zakhe kwiDyunivesithi yaseCalifornia, eLos Angeles, kodwa emva konyaka kwafuneka aphazamise izifundo zakhe ngenxa yeMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi. Kwiminyaka emithathu elandelayo, wasebenza elungisa iinkqubo zeekhompyuter zomkhosi wamanzi waseMelika.
Emva kwemfazwe, uCorbató wabhalisa kwikhosi yeFizikiki eMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), apho waphumelela ngo-1950 kwaye wafumana isidanga sobugqirha ngo-1956. Ngokukhawuleza emva kokuthweswa kwakhe isidanga, wajoyina iZiko leKhompyutha le-MIT, apho wayeza kuba ngunjingalwazi ngo-1965. Kwelo ziko, wangenisa umsebenzi wakhe wokufundisa ngophando de wayothatha umhlala-phantsi.
UCorbató wasala njengoNjingalwazi kwi-MIT de wathabatha umhlala-phantsi, apho wayesebenza khona iuphando olubalulekileyo lwe-IT eya kuthi yamkelwe ngokusesikweni.
Ukongeza kulo msebenzi ukhankanyiweyo kwimveliso yeendlela zokwabelana ngexesha, eCorbató uthathwa njengoxanduva lokuphuhliswa kwenkqubo yokusebenza kweMultics. IiMultics zaba nguvulindlela wenani leekhonsepthi ezisetyenziswayo namhlanje kwiinkqubo zokusebenza zangoku kwaye zakhokelela kuphuhliso lwenkqubo yokusebenza ye-Unix, esasetyenziswa ngokubanzi. I-Unix ikwangumthombo wokhuthazo lweLinux, iMac OS X, i-Android, i-iOS kunye neChannel OS.
Ngo-1990, uCorbató ufumene i-Turing Award ngomsebenzi wakhe kuphuhliso lwenjongo jikelele, ubukhulu becala, ukwabelana ngexesha kunye nokwabelana ngezixhobo zekhompyuter. Phakathi kweziphumo zolo phando lubalaseleyo kwiminyaka yee-1960 kwavela umbono wokusebenzisa iipassword.
Nangona kunjalo, wayengathandani nokuyilwa kwakhe. Ngo-2014 uCorbató wakugxininisa oko Amaphasiwedi aye aba yinto "yamaphupha amabi". Ngeli xesha wayebanga ukuba kubume banamhlanje indlela yokhuselo enqabileyo ubukhulu becala yayingalawuleki.
