You can easily build a secure token machine that prevents this possibility. And compare this to the huge hole of having millions of people with the password 'password', the possibility of someone occasionally having their secret key stolen seems significantly less damaging.
- andrewstuart2 10y agoTrue, but a token machine only serves to identify the token machine, which presumably is only held by the person it identifies. I think my point is that at a fundamental level, identity is internal, tied to a person's mind/soul/etc. Anything external is fundamentally a supplemental identifier. People lose things, steal things, etc. but you cannot (as of yet) steal someone's thoughts.
- astazangasta 10y agoNo, but you can obviously steal passwords, so what's the point?
