It's pretty simple really. Everyone knows that passwords are no good, so
there's no point in trying to use/apply/implement them properly. Instead, we
need to move everyone to PKI^H^H^Hbiometrics^H^H^HOpenID^H^H^H^Hsmart
cards^H^H^H^HOAuth^H^H^H^HPassport^H^H^H^HCardSpace^H^H^H... and then all our
problems will be solved. Any minute now.
Peter.
