Windows 10 Update Will Support More Password-Free Logins (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader writes: It's not just web browsers that are moving beyond passwords. Microsoft has revealed that Windows 10's next update will support the new FIDO 2.0 standard, promising password-free logins on any Windows 10 device managed by your company or office. You could previously use Windows Hello to avoid typing in a password, of course, but this promises to be more extensive -- you could use a USB security key to sign into your Azure Active Directory.

OTHER parts of your anatomy can also be used for "fingerprint" login! (Unless you are Trump, it which case your "Little Donny" is far too small!)

Because you like licking your computer? You don't know who else has licked it, you know. It's like you're licking everyone who has ever used that computer.

I'm gonna go set up a Kickstarter for tongue condoms. I'll be rich!

Yes, but some sites like Slashdot are better. Passwords typed out in the comments section are starred out, for example: My password is ************.
