RE: Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords

I'm not sure I understand what this is saying.

I understand the concept of a smart-card, I think. Credit card sized, with an info strip embedded that has personal data on it, that can be swiped by a reader or used as a proximity badge in a SCIF-type environment, right? I guess I'm not seeing how this card will replace passwords on a computer. If the card gets lost, or left next to your 10-year-olds magnet set, wouldn't it be useless?

Sorry, I know I probably seem like a total idiot, but this sounds very interesting to me and I'd like to understand it better. Thanks for sharing this info, alexander!

Hypography?
