Google’s Vice President of Security Eric Grosse and Engineer Mayank Upadhyay wrote an article that’s due to appear in an upcoming issue of IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine about Google’s efforts to revitalize our password systems. They said the ideal system of protection would involve authenticating a single device, such as a YubiKey or a smartphone, that would be configured to grant you access to any of your online services. "It’s definitely a step in a safer direction."
So said the man from GEEKS R US. Obviously the chap has never heard the old saying "having all your eggs in one basket." Hands up anyone who's ever lost a key? Yes, quite a few. And have Geeks forgotten that every bit of new wonder tech has usually been hacked by some 13 year old before it even gets to market? Just keep an old jotter with your pass words scribbled so that even you can't read them.
