You know what else can steal your passcode with a glance? My eyeballs.

  From 44 meters away?

  Yeah, but there is something to be said about Glass making it possible (and trivial) to record the sensitive information. Not only that, you can also be recording the person, and can later look up their face, potentially figure out their identity, and then proceed with identity theft. You can't do that with just your eyeballs.

      But you'd look pretty damn conspicuous holding up a camera while someone was entering passwords or accessing sensitive info.

Not at the distance from which a decent camera (as discussed in the article) can capture it, you wouldn't -- what Glass can do from 3 meters away, the camera they tested in the article could -- with greater reliability -- through a window 44 meters away (four stories up and across a street).

          Unless something gets between you and the target 44 metres away and blocks your view. Then your master plan is foiled.
