I buy all the future technology solutions, but only in the future. For today we are stuck with passwords. Maybe my beef would be diffused if some lazy programmers would be more open to longer passwords and more non-alpha characters. e.g. let the user decide how long the passwords needs to be beyond some reasonable minimum. Then allow any character the user can stuff in. i.e. don't tell the user the password conatins invalid characters. Again, the average user is like my mom. Not like the people on HN. And you can memorize non-dictionary passwords...
