Google Wants To Replace Passwords

[align=center]Google Wants To Replace Passwords With USB Keys And ?Smart Rings?[/align]

?Along with many in the industry, we feel passwords and simple bearer tokens such as cookies are no longer sufficient to keep users safe,? said Google Vice President of Security Eric Grosse and Engineer Mayank Upadhyay in their upcoming research paper in IEE Security & Privacy Magazine, according to Wired.

I think I'll keep my password, thank you very much.

I don't think I want a Digital ID Card or Passport (Microsoft really did think of making a physical device ones) to identify myself. And a USB can be cloned and cracked just as easily.

The idea of 1 universal device or ID does not sit well with me.

And of course we all trust Google not to put "other things" on the USB key.
Nuff said.
