This isn't a new idea, but it's one step closer to closing the door on possible brute force attacks. Years ago, I saw biometrics and proximity cards as authentication devices emerging in the industry. Biometrics are less likely to be stolen than security badges, but when paired with other methods will ultimately reign supreme.
Anyone think passwords are here to stay? I know there will be a need for them at very basic OS levels, but for directory services user-level access, I can definitely see these methods being adopted in a few hardware cycles.
