There were days when Internet used to be a lot simpler. There would be web pages and simple email services that would let you in after you entered your username and a 'password'. The password would be made strong with the use of cases, alpha-numeric key combinations mixed with special characters. But in the last few years (or months), the Internet has evolved a lot. You no longer can rely on simple text-based passwords for security. Paypal's CTO believes that the days of your regular passwords are numbered and the world will soon have to adopt a combination of hardware+software based user authentication.
What this means is that it might become a 'norm' that you will have to use bio-metric or iris scanners to add an extra level of security for your Internet accounts. From what I read on various sources on the Internet, there's a lot of research going on, on Internet account security mechanisms.
This thread is about discussing passwords of the future. What advances do you expect and how will they replace the traditional textual passwords?
