Enough With The Passwords!

I’m ready for a futuristic scannable computer chip to be embedded in my iris or whatever part of my eye is stationary and solid. In fact, I will accept a chip sewn into the center of my forehead, creating a speed-bump effect like that a Klingon on Star Trek.  I want that chip to be readable by every bank account, Web site, e-mail program, and ATM card I have. I can no longer remember hundreds of passwords, some of which must be changed to a never-before-used combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, capped and lowercased, every 45 days—none of which is supposed to be identical to other passwords and cannot be the names of the cat, dog, or neighbor’s children.

 

I would like to purchase a copy of an article from an online publication without having to log onto the site. I’d like to make a used book purchase from Amazon without logging in. I’d like to search for the answer to why my Blackberry won’t accept e-mails without having to create an account with the support site.  And I’d like to be able to view the pix-flix friends and families have sent to my Blackberry  (which, incidentally, doesn’t accept pictures). Yes, I know, I could view them on my service provider’s Web site—if I could remember my logon and password, the phone number I registered with the site, and the answers to my three secret questions.
