Giving Up Passwords For Chocolate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-password-is-hershey dept.

RonnyJ writes "The BBC is reporting that, according to a recent survey, more than 70% of people would willingly give up their computer password in exchange for as little as a bar of chocolate. Over a third of the people surveyed even gave out their password without having to be bribed, and most indicated that they were fed up with having to use passwords."

    nipple scanners are the way to go.

    Everyone has nipples and they are pretty unique to each person. These things could be at every ATM so you wouldn't have to carry a card with you. You'd just stand at the ATM, make like Janet Jackson, press your nip against the NSR (nipple scanning receptor) and whamo! you are authenticated.

    You could use your left nipple for debit and your right nip for credit. You could have Amex on one nip and Visa on the other. You could get a third nipple grafted on somewhere and use that for your video store dvd hire. The possibilities are endless.
