Time for hardware tokens based on DNA, so that nobody gets online unless they are exactly and uniquely who they are, and fully trackable from all points of contact. To get in, you must have the token. Bad actors lose access similar to jail time. Unless they can hack their DNA to be unique again, they don't get back in except on parole or after punishment.
My guess is this way of solving old problems may create new ones due to that pesky problem called human nature.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIsn't DNA more of a "username" than a password?
- darth_avocado 4y agoDNA is easier to lift from unsuspecting victims than it is to hack your alphanumeric code. Thought theft at scale with DNA based systems would be hard. Unless, you’re the government, in which case, good luck.

- n4bz0r 4y agoWouldn't this be easily bypassed by, say, picking up a hair on a street and fabricating the token? If so, at least bad actors won't have the incentive to cut off your finger or pull an eye out as with the other biometric authentication options :')
- nottorp 4y agoThat's how the voodoo doll myth was created. And to the OP, any shared secret that you cannot change in case of compromise is kind of a bad idea.
