Oh, good! I wonder if they will be willing to put a chip in my right hand or forehead in order to enhance their knowledge of my every move.

What an absolutely terrible idea.

Tom's used to be credible and a good site. Now it's just hyperbole and clickbait.

Whatever you use to safeguard your info and access to it, it's still a password. You can call it anything you want like pass keys but it's still a password which requires record keeping. Only biometrics can kill passwords. Capice?

What an absolutely terrible idea.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad idea. It's certainly not a good one. Most people these days use a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, or Roboform although many financial institutions don't want you too. And worst of all, banks aren't switching to pass keys anytime soon. Instead, they insist you manually enter a 12 or 28 character password while blocking the paste feature or password manager when creating it.
