NY Times on passwords
The New York Times has an article on passwords and OpenID. Frankly, I couldn’t have said it better myself:
Computer security experts say that choosing hard-to-guess passwords ultimately brings little security protection. Passwords won’t keep us safe from identity theft, no matter how clever we are in choosing them.
…….
The solution urged by the experts is to abandon passwords — and to move to a fundamentally different model, one in which humans play little or no part in logging on.
Exactly what I’ve been saying.
