Passwords Go Bye-Bye by 2017?

That's all I need, my computer asking me to pee in a cup.

No thank you. I will stop using the internet.

Passwords to go bye bye in 2017? Not likely.

Yahoo to go Bye Bye in 2012? Possibly.

And what do you do when someone steals your DNA!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

Minority Report!

This isn't going to be common in five years. Maybe someday, but really I think the public will say no and mean it. Yes, it does happen sometimes.

sure why not give blood each time

The government has some of the best hackers and we are to believe this is safer for us
instead of passwords????
I for one will NOT sit down each morning and have my face and fingerprints analyzed and
sent to who knows where for other people to use.
This is a benefit...But not for us,Think about it.

Exactly Glen, but uses us as ginnie pigs, for that big fish you say, the WORLD. WAKE UP!!!..

Most biometric authentications systems are easier than passwords to get by if you really want to. You leave fingerprints everywhere and a Japanese scientist has shown how easy it is to get those and use them to gain access. DNA is another thing you leave everywhere and all you need to do to get past that is to do DNA replications which is much easier these days (how else do they test with such small samples). Retina is good but fails due to multiple conditions and has problems recognizing the proper person without multiple scans or the verification settings being set low (stress and drugs affects this one). Thermal using blood vessels and the like, temperature conditions and drugs affect this one. Facial recognition has potential but still has a long way as recent tests have shown.

A biometric replacement for passwords needs to have an almost perfect record and we are most likely decades away from that level of reliability, unless you want to set lower standards than you can achieve with passwords. I've taught my kids how to use easy to remember and different paraphrases for logging into different sites. They also know that when people are looking over their shoulder they can't remember the twenty or more letter/character/number passwords they use because they can type them in easily and quickly. Since IBM sells this kind of hardware of course they want to promote is use by others even if it isn't as reliable as it need to be.

Just another way to track, trace, and database you.

Benjamin Franklin once said anyone willing to give up a little freedom to gain a little security deserves neither. The government is slowly tightening the collar by extending little gifts to make our lives easier. We become addicted to it, and we become more enslaved. We are moving from being citizens to being subjects once again.

Wrong. When tested/molested I quit. When SSN demanded I quit, Including truck license. Medical SSN No. A Mexican needs nothing So Should You.,

Wiht the passing of 1867, We might not even be around in 2017.---

It's the sheep they really look down on. The awake slaves pose a threat to them.

Sounds 'MORE' like, Yet ANOTHER Retarded idea from our government, to try & collect DNA from everyone!!! I'd say nice try, but, well????

Guess who was there to help Adolf Hitler and the NAZI party identify and catalog the Jews during WWII? Yes, IBM's Hollerith system. It allowed the NAZI to identify and locate European Jews with amazing efficiency. This system was also used to organize the concentration camps and slave labor camps. Why is this corporation still in existence?

I see everything wrong and nothing good coming from this. Firstly, a relative dies, you are under duress, you go take emergency funds from your account, oops! your under duress, denied! OR, you are sick, you need money to go purchase subscription meds, oops, your under duress, sorry! If you want to see how great voice recognition software works, try calling any large company with "State of the Art" voice recognition phone system. See how long it takes for the system to understand what your saying when there is background noise from traffic, wind, etc... before you get a word in, the system is already telling you it doesnt understand you. Most atm machines are in public places with a lot of noise or at a drive up location with wind and noise. I dont even care if it works, its still a stupid idea, If they start using this, I'll stop keeping my money in a bank, IF CASH STILL EXISTS BY THEN!!! otherwise, you are forced into a system because no one put a stop to it.

Think a microchip or a personal number tattooed with special government ink....... They can already track our daily movements with the GPS on our cellphones. They can come with in 3 feet if your phone is just turned on. Video cameras on every corner, credit and debit card use at every store, satellites if they really need them ...... I am not all that religious but this sure sounds like the mark of the beast to me. Anybody who thinks this is a good idea, well I just don't know what to say

Lol these occultist must think we are stupid.after discussing in bohemian groove,they want to impose gabbage on the peolple.welli am sorry for the people who will take this mark.
