What we have isn't a password problem, it's an identity validation and authorization problem that's exaggerated because there's no cheap, easy way to perform 2-factor authentication. Last month Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist over at Google did a terrific presentation which is hosted online at http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/extwidget/openGraph/wid/1_1zv56fqf http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/extwidget/openGraph/wid/1_1... basically discussing the problems if identification and authorization. It gets very good at the 18:30 minute mark.
I know Google has done a lot to streamline stronger authentication as has SecureAuth and I think we'll only see more changes when projects like the FCCX come online.
The stuff these companies are trying to do seem stale and to be honest kind of worthless. On top of this I don't consider Lenovo an internet giant and I'm not the only one that's been burned to the point that I've killed off my account with PayPal.
Now if Amazon and Google started working together with companies like Ping, Janrain and SecureAuth, then we'd see something that would be very exciting.
